Re: [g-a-devel]Tooltips and accessibility

[Marc Mulcahy <marc mulcahy sun com>]

I think the description might not be enough in the case of magnification or 
some other application which wants to draw attention to the tooltip, since 
the description wouldn't give the tooltip's location.  i understand 
Michael's discontentmet with showing a new GailToplvel when a tooltip is 
displayed.  Do we have any other options between not giving any 
notification, and notifying the tooltip creation as a new GailToplevel?
