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

Hello,

On current master I constantly receive messages "timer--activate:
Invalid or uninitialized timer" as soon as a tooltip is requested to be
displayed, for example by just hovering tool-bar items with mouse.

After digging into the issue, I found that, in function
`tooltip-start-delayed-tip', call to `run-with-timer' is missing the
REPEAT argument.

The attached a patch that fixed the issue for me.

Thanks!
