    I am using Emacs with GTK (though I don't think the toolkit makes much
    of a difference) and I find the tooltips on menu entries not
    disruptive (they do a pretty good job at disappearing).

I wonder whether this is a difference in opinions or a difference in
the behavior of Emacs.  (I don't use Emacs with GTK.)

When you say "they do a pretty good job at disappearing", could you
elaborate?  When you put the mouse on Help > More Manuals,
and the submenu appears, and then the tooltip appears,
what action makes the tooltip disappear again?
