I wonder if these tooltips are even needed; they mostly just restate
what the item under point already says. I browsed around a few of the
default GNOME apps (and a few non-default others) but could not find
any that display tooltips when hovering an item in a drop down menu
the way Emacs does.

Would just getting rid of them be an alternative to debugging the
visibility issue?
