    Description

      If the systray example (and Qt) is compiled with VS 2005, the tooltip is not display above the tray icon! The balloon messages work as expected.

      This must have something to do with using NOTIFYICON_VERSION_4. When setting it to NOTIFYICON_VERSION the tooltip work again. Maybe the switch in QSystemTrayIconSys::QSystemTrayIconSys should be a compiler switch instead of a runtime switch?
