This seems like a good idea - I have on occasion seen effects where a tooltip sometimes gets "stuck open" and it does annoy. Fluid on WinXX seems to be a particular offender, IIRC.
And it does seem to be peculiar to fltk apps - other apps do seem to close their tooltips after some max timeout... I guess we could add a method to set it, with it defaulting to some longish time if not explicitly changed? > Is there a way to set a timeout to make tooltips go away > after some amount of time?
