Description John Crawley 2004-06-23 14:41:13 UTC 
Using a GNOME built with gdm 2.6 source tarball on 17th June 2004,

-Use the standard GDM login (gdmlogin)
-Change the GDM login theme to High Contrast Large Print
-Move the mouse over a menuitem

A tooltip appears. See that there is a thin outline surround the boundary
of the tooltip.

-Change the GDM login theme to High Contrast Large Print INVERSE
-Move the mouse over a menuitem

A tooltip appears. It is difficult to distinguish the black-background tooltip
from the items under it, because the colour of the thin tooltip surround has not
changed.

After talking about this with Owen, we agreed that it makes the most sense to
remove tooltips from the menu completely.  No other GNOME programs use them 
in the menus, and it makes navigating the menus confusing, and it has
accessibility problems.  

Fixed in CVS head and 2.12 branch.
