Tooltips on text-only buttons? - Ext JS

I wanted to use the tooltip as help on a text-only button, but it looks like tooltips only render when hovering over the icon. I'm creting buttons with code like this (using a2r6):

new Ext.Toolbar('foo', 
    {
	text : 'la la la',
	tooltip: 'help for you',
	handler : my_handler,
	enableToggle : true,
	pressed : false,
	toggleGroup : 'nav'
    });

Are tooltips-on-a-text-button supported? If so, can I get an example... if not, should it be, or is that abusing the UI?

i can't see any tooltips in my app as well, only place i see them are in the menu example. /me wonders where the magic switch is to turn them on :S

Did you turn on QuickTips somewhere in your page? Ext.QuickTips.init();

Ext.QuickTips.init(); ah, missed that one. btw. have you already noticed that in FF elements with quicktips on the very bottom of the browser window appear below the mouse-arrow and therefore trigger the mouseout event causing them to toggle on/off continuously? i guess if they would go a few more pixels to the top and/or right they'll work better. and in IE7 they don't seem to work all the time, sometime i have to mouseover a few times to see them.

That's a known issue that didn't make this rev. I will be fixing it shortly.
