I think tooltips is the correct term here.
For example, I have Opera in my quicklaunch section of the taskbar. If I
move my mouse pointer over that icon on the taskbar, a little tooltip-type
thing opens which says "Opera." It's working fine for me now. But in the
past, you could tell the tip had opened up because you could see the top of
it, but most of it was hidden by the taskbar.
