I would prefer that you posted the patch to the mailing list first.  This
looks to me like an ugly hack that subverts the purpose of
tooltip-show-help-non-mode.  I tried the patch below (against 1.93, the
version before your checkin) but the help message seems to persist after the
mouse has moved away from the mouse-highlight region.  In any case, I think
the patch should make use of the use-echo-area argument of tooltip-show.
