Moving Tooltip out of cursor-area

Hy,
we need to use a big cursor theme.
Unfortunately the big Cursor overlays the first letters of the tooltips which is not acceptable within some apps.

How can I move the relative position of the tooltip to the cursor so it does not interfear with the big cursor?

I would accept a hardcodes systemwide solution if there is no configuration for this.

System: KDE 3.5.0 on Debian Sarge

Thanks
Andreas

Subclass QTooltip

And use the protected functions of QTooltip.

I guess this will work.
You can set the geometry with one of the protected tip functions.
