It's up to you to ignore warnings.

> Here's a typical call:
>
> (x-show-tip (propertize
>                cmd-desc
>                'face
>                `(:foreground "red"
>                  :height ,showkey-tooltip-height))
>              nil
>              nil
>              showkey-tooltip-timeout)

Make sure to use (selected-frame) as second argument for Emacs < 27.
nil is broken but you might not notice it.
