I have now rebuilt Emacs with full image support.  The toolbar and splash 
screen look prettier but the menu tooltip bug is still there.  I thought 
that the menus might use image support if it was available, and hence 
presumably different code, but apparently not.

I may well have changed some interface setting on both my main machines, or 
possibly even installed some other software that is provoking this bug, but 
I have no idea what.  Fortunately, I can live with this problem until I find 
out what's causing it.
