Do I understand correctly that the bug fixed in July was due to the
fact that Emacs does not know the location of the dropped-down menu,
and so it pops the tooltip near the mouse pointer instead if near the
menu?
If so, we could do one of 2 things:
1. Calculate the right position somehow.
2. Show the help-echo message in the echo area. (This is how many
Windows GUI applications show menu-related tips.)
