New update mechanism in taskbar needs a hover popup

The new icon in the taskbars of both KDE and Gnome for the new updater (zen updater or mongoose, I'm assuming - this is my first look at it) needs to have a description pop up when the mouse is hovered over it, like all the rest of the icons do. Also, it would be good if we can get the name of it on the title bar for when users either right or left click. Hard to report a bug if all you have is the icon, with no name. Also, for a beta, this looks fantastic! Great job!
Also, it would be nice if it used libnotify to popup notification bubbles, like gnome-power-manager and some gnome applets do.
I added a simple tooltip for now. I would like to add libnotify support, but this code needs to also run on much older distros that don't support libnotify. I'll look at doing it at run-time in the near future.
