IIUC in both cases xwindow reports nothing tooltip specific for these
tooltip windows.  So I wonder how a tooltip specific theme background
could be applied to them.  Would xprop reveal anything useful in this
regard?

In either case, for i3's sake we should be able to make our tooltips
override-redirect windows and apparently the request to do that gets
lost somewhere.
