Subject: 23.1.50; Error while displaying tooltip
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:59:51 +0200
Some recent changes broke tooltip display on non-toolkit X builds.

Hovering the mouse over a menu item or a toolbar icon results in the
error message:

  Error while displaying tooltip: (error Invalid frame name--not a string or nil)

and after a delay the tooltip is displayed in the echo area instead of the
tooltip frame.
