Subject: bug#20518: 24.5; Tooltip on Ubuntu 12.04/14.04 can't render

Hi.
C-h f x-gtk-use-system-tooltips <RET>
x-gtk-use-system-tooltips is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is t
Documentation:
If non-nil with a Gtk+ built Emacs, the Gtk+ tooltip is used.
Otherwise use Emacs own tooltip implementation.
When using Gtk+ tooltips, the tooltip face is not used.
You can customize this variable.
System tooltips only support text. Showing images in tooltips is perverse IMHO.
