Hi! It's a very good idea. I'm trying it on Emacs 22 and it "almost works". There's seems to be a problem when the tooltip opens on top of the mouse cursor. That makes the tooltip disappear immediately (just like when you move the mouse over a tooltip...).
Any ideas on how to solve that? Also do you know how could I change the font of the tooltip? I seem to have a default Courier here.
