I tried a few different GTK themes, but it didn't help. And it's not
just GTK, but QT-based applications, too.

This did give me an idea, though... I've made a very minor tweak
(startup sound) to E's default theme, so tried the system version
instead, and then two others I happened to have installed. The problem
disappears entirely with "Dark" and "Dimensions" themes! It seems to
be caused by the "default" theme, both the as-installed from latest
git (via AUR) and my tweaked versions.

But why is it affecting only me? Is the "default" theme picking up
some weird efl setting i have messed up that the others aren't?

Some more experimenting: the tooltip flickering on and off (or, more
commonly, just one on/off flicker) occurs only when any part of the
cursor is over the tooltip. The tooltip is stable in some GTK
applications where the tip is rendered below the hovered item, and the
item (e.g. button) is large enough that i can hover over the top part
of it and have the cursor not touch the tooltip when it appears. There
needs to be what looks like 3 or 4 pixels separation between the edge
of the tooltip and the edge of the cursor, but i can't tell if that's
an invisible border on the tooltip or the cursor.

Thanks,
