Hi. Sorry for reposting. But it seems strange to me that such an ordinary
feature of Actions/MenuItem tooltip is not known by anybody.

Most of the application I see do have tooltips on menuItems: I can't believe
I should copy tooltips from action to MenuItem by hand...


I've searched in the docs to see if there is a flag that enables them w/o
finding anything.
