Thanks!!

Depending on what you find.... I wonder if this could (should?) be broken into
two separate bugs:

1. Ctrl+F1 should cause the tooltip to appear.... somewhere :-)

2. The tooltip should appear next to the focused element to be consistent with
Gtk+

If item #1 is solved, users who are blind could then cause the tooltip to
appear (which a screen reader could then speak and display in braille). This is
the important thing IMHO.
