Uh what? Tooltips are enabled by default. At least I get them also
with -q -no-site-file. The customization buffer says, however,
This is a customization buffer.
`Raised' buttons show active fields; type RET or click mouse-1
on an active field to invoke its action. Editing an option value
changes the text in the buffer; invoke the State button and
choose the Set operation to set the option value.
Invoke Help for more information.
Operate on everything in this buffer:
Set for Current Session Save for Future Sessions
Reset Reset to Saved Erase Customization Finish
Tooltip Mode: Hide Toggle on (non-nil)
State: this option has been changed outside the customize buffer.
Which would appear rather wrong, as it would mean that you could not
customize tooltips off even if you wanted to.
How comes that your Emacs behaves differently than mine? Have you
explicitly disabled tooltips, or am I just being crazy in some manner
again?
