The tooltips exist inside their own frames. Typing C-u C-x = on some  
thing that can make a tooltip appear could additionally display  
information about the tooltip, but: there is only one kind of  
tooltips. So it would mostly be useless information.

I think the proper way is to invoke apropos and enter the simple  
symbol ``tooltip´´. Then see what *Help* is returned – I think it's  
sufficient.


There are also X resources:

        Emacs.tooltip.attributeBackground:      cyan
        Emacs.tooltip.attributeForeground:      darkorange

Looks terrible!
