A few years ago (has it REALLY been that long?) I was playing with
x-show-tooltip so that I could display a tooltip at the given point.

I was mostly interested in this so that I could build just in time code
completion.  This way one could have a function call:

foo(

And type something like C-enter to lookup the previous symbol and show
method argument documentation in a tooltip.

..... anyway.

I needed away to have x-show-tooltip generate under (point).  Is this
possible?

If I remember I can manually position the tooltip if I know the on screen
x/y pixel cartesian position of (point) but I don't think this was possible
either.

This was with an early version Emacs 21...  Anyone know a solution to this?
 Have features been added to Emacs 22 to enable this?

Kevin
