I'm convinced: the DX and DY are always valid when `tip_frame' is a live
frame, and we don't use them otherwise.

We already cannot refer to tip frames, and the toolkits we use currently
only support displaying a single system tooltip at the same time.

So there will be significantly more work involved in supporting multiple
tooltips than eliminating a few of the static tooltip state variables,
of which there are already a few anyway: tip_frame, tip_window,
tip_timer, tip_last_string, tip_last_frame and tip_last_parms.
