I am using Window Maker, yes.

This could explain some things: tooltips work fine on Windows with 
win32! Also, sometimes tooltips are shown black in Gorm for exmaple 
(Gregory has this problem often). I never experienced this if not 
yesterday, but just clicking the windows made the problem disappear. I 
suppose there can be confusion in layering.

I think Wolfgang's idea of putting them at popupbutton level is fine, it 
would solve most problems, except putting a label on a menu-item of a 
popupbutton itself (but it would when closed I suppose). Perhaps it 
should be done immediately post-release, but if you have a patch I can 
try it.
