Ideally there shouldn't be a need to customize the appearance of tooltips. It would be desirable if Emacs "simply" used tooltips provided by the toolkit it was configured for (in case the toolkit supports tooltips). This would, for example, also eliminate the need to re-customize their appearance in case one changes the theme of a themeable toolkit.

But I guess there are more pressing things to do for the next
release.

Actually this has been talked about before, as part of Emacs and GTK/Gnome integration. I did some modifiactions to have Emacs use GTK tooltips when built for GTK, I guess I have that patch lying around somewhere. I'll try to get it in after this release.
