Could it be a Tcl version problem? It's hard to debug this... :-(

Yes I imagine it will be hard to debug. The tclTk version is 8.3.2. I am unaware of problems with that on the X windows platforms. Has this been noticed on other unices with 2.0b1?  --Robin F.

Comment:
BTW, where do you expect to see tooltips? The only place I can think of is when you type a function name followed by a left paren. Is that it? What function name did you use?

(And yes, this works fine for me on Linux.)

Could it have to do with font? color? Perhaps your window manager?
Source is in CallTipWindow.py if you want to play.
