I am using Emacs with GTK (though I don't think the toolkit makes much
of a difference) and I find the tooltips on menu entries not
disruptive (they do a pretty good job at disappearing). I don't use
the menus very much though, probably like most advanced users. The
tooltips help keeping the menu entries themselves concise and thus
recognizable.
I'd vote to keep them.
