The problem that prompted this one particular message seems to be more
that many paople do not seem know that they can make tooltips appear
in the echo area (rather than covering up the area where they are
working) by disabling tooltip-mode.  (Many paople seem to believe that
if you disble Tooltip mode, you do not get to see the tooltip help at
all.)  Disabling Tooltip mode is the ideal solution to the problem
discussed in the above message: if you need extra info, look at the
echo area, otherwise ignore it.

Sincerely,
