    If tooltips are active, they tend to pop up on their own.  This can be
    disconcerting for menus, but perhaps that's because I'm slightly more
    used to the MS-Windows approach.  In that case, tooltips for menus
    only popup if you use the "What's this?" command (Shift-F1).

If users are accustomed to this and like it, it would be a good
approach.  But can it be implemented without changing the toolkits?

This might be a useful change to make in GTK.
