[Skencil-users] Small tooltips impovement

[Igor Novikov]

Hi all,

We have small patch to improve Skencil tooltips look-and-feel and behavior:

     self.balloon.deiconify()

======================================
After patching Skencil tooltips will be similar to KDE or Gnome tooltips.
Patch should be applied to <skencil_dir>/Sketch/UI/tooltips.py file.
