Bug description:
  The Fedora guys did some brilliant work on improving the appearance
  and behavior of tooltips in Fedora 12:

  "GTK+ tooltips have traditionally been yellowish, and have a strong
  smell of Windows 3.x. In Fedora 12, they will come in a fresh blue,
  with nice rounded corners and a touch of translucency. We have also
  improved the positioning algorithm to avoid covering the tool that the
  tip refers to, as well as appear in a more predictable position."

  things/)

  As this great work is landing upstream and should be available in time
  for Lucid, we should be sure to make Ubuntu's tooltips consistent with
  Ubuntu's unique look at feel.
