I find it disturbing that inactive menu entries and toolbar icons
won't display their tooltip. "What is this about?" is an interesting
question also when an item is inactive. I actually find this
_particularly_ interesting since I would like to figure out what would
make such entries active. Not getting the tooltip for them makes this
more difficult.
That is an interesting point, and maybe Emacs should display those
tooltips. Does anyone see an argument against it?
Anyway, is it Emacs that makes the choice, or is it the GUI toolkit?
