bug#4910: 23.1.50; Error while displaying tooltip

[Juri Linkov]

Some recent changes broke tooltip display on non-toolkit X builds.

Hovering the mouse over a menu item or a toolbar icon results in the
error message:

  Error while displaying tooltip: (error Invalid frame name--not a string or nil)

and after a delay the tooltip is displayed in the echo area instead of the
tooltip frame.

This should be fixed.

Thanks.  There are another problem, and I don't know if it's related to
your changes.  Hovering the mouse on the first menu opening after
starting Emacs (I mean when you click on a top-level menu first time)
displays empty tooltip frames for menu items.  But after second menu
opening tooltip frames are correct.

That's an old problem, it's present at least in 23.1.
I think I mentioned it on the list some time ago.
