That warning sounds very bad to me. It's vague, however,
so forgive me if I'm overreacting.
I have 4 libraries that will presumably break completely
if `x-show-tip' is defeated or is no longer available.
`tooltip-show' does NOT do the same thing and will not
work (AFAICT) for what I use `x-show-tip' for.
The libraries are `pp+.el', `apu.el', `modeline-char.el',
and `showkey.el'. They are all available on Emacs Wiki,
Elisp Area.
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs?action=elisp-area;context=0
`tooltip-show' constrains its call of `x-show-tip' to
only one particular behavior/appearance, etc. Replacing
the latter function with just the former would be like
replacing the general function `goto-char' a limited one
such as `beginning-of-line'. `x-show-tip' is much more
general than `tooltip-show'.
Here's a typical call:
(x-show-tip (propertize
cmd-desc
'face
`(:foreground "red"
:height ,showkey-tooltip-height))
nil
nil
showkey-tooltip-timeout)
