Sorry, I will try to remember. I am testing on w32: In GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of 2005-10-22 on W2ONEStart with emacs -Q and open the menus from the keyboard with F10. Navigate to different menu items. Nothing is shown in the echo area. Put the mouse over a menu item with a help text. This now pops up in a tooltip.
Now do M-x tooltip-mode RET to turn off tooltip-mode. Try the same things as above. The only difference will be that the tooltips instead of poping up are shown in the echo area.
Summary:You do not see the menu help texts if you are navigating the menus with the keyboard. This is not good from a portability point of view.
