To display help tooltips in the echo area turn `tooltip-mode' off. To display GUD tooltips in the echo area turn `gud-tooltip-mode' on and set `gud-tooltip-echo-area' to t. This sounds more complicated, but displaying help text in the echo area shouldn't require tooltips. It a text property like mouse-face. Using tooltip-use-echo-area invokes tooltip-show with its delays etc unnecessarily. In contrast displaying GUD tooltip text in the echo area does require the gud-tooltip machinery (like track-mouse) because text properties aren't involved.
