Ah, sorry. Yes, it seems to work okay, as far as I can tell, and cuts out 11
round trips. With a remote display I’m able to move the mouse into the tooltip
window for a few seconds before it goes away, and (at least on my display) it’s
showing a basic black arrow pointer. I’m not sure how to get it to stick around
past my moving the mouse into the window; the next thing Emacs does seems to be
to delete the window. The frame deletion code protects against calling
XFreeCursor on a zero value, so I don’t expect any problems there.

I can imagine that. Most commands aren’t likely to allocate nearly as much as
I’m seeing during normal frame creation. But that’s a separate issue….
