Bug Description

While some tooltips (hover over any of toolbar buttons) work fine, selecting help->what's this? And then clicking on (for example) the root channel gives a window with unreadable white-on-yellow text.

This bug appears to affect a whole slew of (if not all) Qt apps running under Unity. I've verified the bug in Mumble, K3b, KUser, KStreamRipper, and others.

This was tested with a completely patched Precise beta on 2012-03-24.

Seems to be resulting from themes like Ambiance (Ubuntu default) using white foreground color on black background and the tooltip style only setting the background color.

Can be fixed/worked around by setting the foreground color in a QSS file for each app (like Mumble, for which there are decent QSS files floating around the net). Which exact QSS rule applies to tooltips only remains unknown for the time being, but overkill approach of setting default style on * and then styling everything else does work.
