Since I am not the author of the last sentence, I don't know what it was
intended to warn against. I tried to use a bad value on X, and the
resulted effect is the mouse pointer covering part of the tooltip window.
Also moving the mouse causes flickering of the tooltip window. I have no
idea how to describe this behavior in the doc string.
BTW, on non-toolkit X builds using tooltips on menu items completely
garbles them. Most likely this is caused by garbage collection, and
displaying tooltips makes GC to occur sooner than when tooltips are
disabled.
