I have not tested all widgets, but so far QTextEdit, QLabel and QTooButon/PushButton
does not show tooltip, set with QWidget::setToolTip().

Only QLineEdit seams to show them.

This is actually easy to test using the examples/widgets/windowflags example from the Qt source.
If you add a tooltip to the button and/or the TestEdit

previewwndow.cpp:
....
textEdit = new QTextEdit; 
textEdit->setToolTip("view the applied flags");
....
closeButton = new QPushButton(tr("&Close")); 
closeButton->setToolTip("close the preview");
and than, when running the sample, the tooptips are shown, unless Popup is selected as window flag.

PS I noticed a similar bugreport on the tracker, but it reports a problem only with QToolButton, which is not the case,
other widgets are also affected.
