But it is very annoying with all this new tool tips when you have 
tooltip-use-echo-area set to t.  The minibuffer expands and shrinks for 
multiline tooltips just because you happen to pass the modeline with the pointer.

Is there a way to turn off modeline tooltips?  I think that would be useful.
