I'm pretty sure you can do this because the timer events are emitted to the
global event queue. So even when the timers are implemented as separate
threads (and I'm sure they are not - especially on embedded systems), they're
(hopefully) accessing the global event queue in a thread-safe way.

Every usage of a pointing device is a user interaction with the system. The
tooltip should therefore disappear.
