I think that we should be pushing GUI stuff to the Tcl side of things as much as possible, plus I prefer the current tooltip display down on the lower right. I find that popups right next to the mouse are often annoying.
I do, too, but every GUI toolkit and its brother hovers them to the side of the current mouse location.

Hello, Hans asked me to write up an explanation of the new tooltips in
pd-extended
0.43. Attached are some patches that outline how they work. Just open tips-help.pd.
Tooltips get their tip information from the [pd META] subpatch inside
the help
patch for
the object. So if you want to have tooltips for your externals, or set
of
abstractions, make
sure you have complete help patches for all of your object classes.
Hans-- Ivica modified my original patch in the most recent build of
pd-l2ork so
that the
tips follow the mouse, and he put the Enter/Leave logic on the c side
of things.
