Most applications put the tooltip below the mouse. The default for
tooltip-y-offset in Emacs is -10, which puts it above the mouse.
Maybe it is worth making the default something like 40 or even 50 (the
offset seems to be to the bottom edge of the tooltip), which puts the
tooltip a safe distance below the pointer.
