This doesn’t work on the NS port. Tooltips on that platform are
neither system tooltips nor fully‐fledged frames. I think it also
doesn’t work with certain X toolkits (GTK?) where they use system
tooltips.

It’s beyond me why you’d want to dim a tooltip. Dimming of menu items
is standard behaviour on many platforms whereas dimming a tooltip is,
afaik, a completely novel behaviour and as a result would just be
confusing.
