Emacs 23.1.93.1 (Pretest) on Windows 7: the tooltip follows the mouse as 
described. Also, the tooltip is only visible when the mouse is NOT 
within the Emacs window but somewhere else on the desktop. Then the 
tooltip appears with the mouse cursor pointing to the upper left corner. 
It does not appear at all when the mouse cursor is within the bounds of 
the Emacs window. Therefore, in full screen mode the tooltip never appears.
