I can confirm that the tool tips are indeed gone from the minimize,
maximize and close buttons in Metacity.  This affects all Metacity
themes, naturally, not just Radiance.  I cannot seem to find a way to
re-enable them in GConf either.

There does not seem to be an upstream bug opened for this yet but i
think we should discuss this a bit before we open one.  I'm not so sure
that I would call this a bug. The primary purpose of tool tips is to act
as a quick reminder for what action a button/control performs.  In the
case of the minimize, maximize and close buttons it seems like almost
everyone should already know what they do. For those that do not know,
they will very quickly learn by trying them.  It seems to me that tool
tips do not make much sense here. This is just my opinion, feel free to
discuss. :)
