I meant a decent setup, not the default. I once proposed to make the default font for the tooltips smaller than the one chosen for the default face, but was told that there are problems to do that with X, and I don't know enough about X to suggest a solution. FWIW, my .emacs selects a much smaller font for tooltips. > The alternative is to have a long tooltip.

That's how tooltips work on all GUI platforms I've seen; Emacs just tries to be compatible here. (Of course, you have variables to customize the time delay for pop-up and pop-down, if the defaults annoy you.)
