LibQTip creates tooltip frames as they are needed, and when an AddOn is finished using one it goes into a "recycle bin" - if an AddOn needs a tooltip, it grabs one from there or creates one if none exist. Therefore, it isn't possible to do what you are trying to do - Broker_AllXP might release a tooltip, then Broker_Auditor grabs the same one because it needs a tooltip frame.

I probably should have given more details from the start.

What I did was use TipTac and made it hide all borders and backgrounds for its tooltips. I then used kgPanels to parent and anchor panels to each of the tooltips (using the script feature to auto resize each frame). So far I've parented/anchored panels to gametooltip, itemreftooltip, shoppingtooltip1, shoppingtooltip2, shoppingtooltip3, and worldmaptooltip.

The only thing that doesn't have a panel showing on the tooltip is Auditor (as far as I know it's the only addon in my ui that uses LibQTip [and showing it via Fortress, a LDB display]). However, if I put a background back via TipTac it shows a tooltip for Auditor. I've tried using kgPanels' frame finder, but it returns the usual list and a bunch of Unknown. I also tried using a macro "GetMouseFocus():GetName()" but that only says WorldFrame.

TipTac had a list of tooltips in the lua which it skins. I've tried all the ones there, but can't get a panel on Auditor. Someone suggested I look at Auditor and find "Acquire('SomeTooltipName', 5, 'LEFT', 'CENTER')" and I found "Broker_AuditorTooltip", but when I tried that it didn't work either.

Is there something like a mother frame I could parent/anchor to for all of LibQTip's tooltips?

LibQTip produces anonymous frames and even if it named them, you will have hard time doing something consistent because there are reused in undefined order.

Probably a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the name is for the frame that LibQTip produces.

The kgpanel frame finder returns Unknown multiple times and the macro "/run DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(GetMouseFocus():GetName())" only says WorldFrame.

There have been several recent updates, and I'm hoping that at some point the TOC will be updated, too. Thanks. [I committed the change myself. Someone will be angry with me for some inane reason, but sometimes you just have to take a chance, yano?]
