That's what I get for reading and writing late at night. I mixed  
tooltips together.

However, I still stand by my main point: this invasive tooltip stuff  
should be selected on or off through user Preference. It should not  
be present unless I want it to be present. I find tooltip popups  
annoying, if I already know what they are telling me, which can  
happen after some application use.
