Gnome 1.4 positions its tooltips below the mouse pointer and centered, everything else I have seen positions them below and to the right (the start of the text is actually aligned with the LHS of the pointer in sawfish, I can't check anything else right now). Only Emacs positions tooltips above the mouse. I think below is less likely to be in the way, since the pointer usually points upwards. So my suggestion would be to default to (setq tooltip-x-offset 0) (setq tooltip-y-offset 40)
