well, whatyaknow!  The above binary runs, and does NOT have the tooltip 
insanity !

(it also has a different look-and-feel (mostly for the better, i think), 
and loads/inherits my shortcuts and settings (from the local 1.1.2 build)

I do wonder how I can build it locally properly.  After all, I upgraded 
to Ubuntu 14.04, bleeding-edge (and did quite a bit of bleeding in the 
process -- it nearly lacerated my vital organs, crippling former 
functionality and wiping out essential settings)

so... shouldn't I be able to build with all the latest, greatest components?

thanks again.
