That would be one possibility, but it doesn't solve the problem
that the recent-keys list is easily filled with mouse-movement events
when tooltip-gud-tips-p is enabled.

Maybe it would be sufficient (for debugging) to store just the last of
a series of mouse movement event on the same window (i.e. replace the
last event in recent-keys if it is also a mouse-movement event in the
same window).
