No tooltips on panel or desktop widgets

How does one disable tooltips for the panel and desktop widgets? A KDE
3 user who is testing KDE 4 wants these disabled, but I cannot find
the setting in either the panel, desktop, or System Settings.

How about the tooltips on plasmoid hoverover, that says the name of
the plasmoid? This panel doesn't even have a task manager!

I don't know that all of them can be turned off, and don't believe this
is the specific one you're asking about, but did you find the one in "the
application formerly known as kcontrol", look&feel, appearance, windows
(applet), buttons (tab), show window button tooltips (checkbox)?

I think various apps and kde elements control their own tooltips, so
there's no centralized location to toggle them.  I don't know that it's
even possible to turn them all off, but I like them on in general, which
they tend to be by default, so wouldn't be as likely to know as someone
who prefers them off.

That's not it!

No list, but I think that the general idea is clear enough:
Disable plasma panel tooltips
