Another tooltip-related note: it seems to me that most other
applications do not display tooltips for menu-bar items.  The idea,
presumably, is that since a menu-bar item consists of text, that is
enough to explain what the item does; whereas tool-bar buttons need
tooltips because they only consist of icons or short text labels.

For instance, the menu-bar item

  Visit New File

has the tooltip

  Read and create a file or edit it

Does the tooltip really impart any information that the item doesn't?
