If it is nil, the default, help-echos are only displayed on mouse-over, not on point-over. What about the following patch to help.texi? I can install if desired. I am puzzled that the patch does not mention `help-at-pt-display-when-idle'. The patch seems to be about a totally different issue. (It might be correct; I don't know.)
