Icon zooming has been removed from KDE. A quote from the blog of Aaron Seigo, 
the current kicker coder: "now, i'd really like to simply `rm -rf` the 
transparency support in kicker 3.5 and tell people to deal with it until 
there is proper support in X and Qt for these things. really, i would. but my 
survival instincts tell me that i'd prefer to live a few more years rather 
than be lynched by the hordes of users who just can't live without such 
important things as a kicker that paints the same background as the desktop. 
this from the guy who removed icon zooming."

So now we get the huge tooltip. *shrug*

Hope that explains it.
