[Psi-Devel] Tooltips only showing up when window is focused.

In Qt-4.3.0 tooltips are only shown if the window is focused which is a change 
since 4.2.3. This is an annoyance for many users, especially with the 
mainwin.

The reason seems quite clear from the Qt changelog:

>Clarified the documentation for the Qt::WA_AlwaysShowToolTips widget 
attribute.

I am not sure if this qualifies a patch, because the change is so tiny, but 
here is one anyway as I've been asked to file it. It seems to work with 
Qt-4.3.0 in windows and linux, and it didn't seem to destroy anything with 
4.2.3 in linux.

A similar approach can be taken to all windows where tooltips are wanted from 
unfocused windows, groupchatdlg got a roster-like part for example.
