[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I think there might be another problem with the patch though.  There seems
to be a problem when setting `x-gtk-use-system-tooltips` variable to nil.

I think that `x-show-tip` respects this variable with

`if (x_gtk_use_system_tooltips)`

but `x-hide-tip` does not.  So, the tooltip is created but can't be
destroyed.

Thanks
