Figuring this out is part of the job, I guess. One possibility would
be to show the tooltip only when the imaginary defcustom is non-nil,
i.e. when the user expressed his/her desire to see the switches, but
there's no space to show them in their entirety. Maybe there are
other possibilities, I didn't think long enough about this to tell.
As for the mode tooltip, I think you could work around the problem by
making the switches tooltip pop up only on the partial text of the
switches, not on the mode string itself.
