the ToolTip QML item (which isn't documented on api.kde.org with the other QML 
elements since it is written in C++ *sigh*) does not expose the requisite 
property in Plasma::ToolTipContent: windowsToPreview.

there are two ways to address this:

* add this functionality to the existing ToolTip element in kde-
runtime/plasma/declarativeimports/core/tooltip.cpp

* include a bit of C++ with the QML task manager applet which exposes this 

the two methods are essentially identical with one important difference: 
patching the tooltip.cpp in kde-runtime exposes this to *all* users of the QML 
elements ... and i don't think we want to do that as we could not take that 
API back later and this is one area that is likely to see some re-design in 
libplasma2.

so including a bit of C++ that bridges between Plasma::ToolTipContent and QML 
which does expose the windowsToPreview API would probably be best. you could 
even start by just copying over those files from kde-runtime and modifying as 
needed.

cheers.
