They both (well I only checked OOo, but FF is pretty much the same
thing) basically call...

gtk_paint_flat_box( GtkTooltipWidget->style,
 target_drawable,
 GTK_STATE_NORMAL,
 GTK_SHADOW_OUT,
 &clipRect,
 GtkTooltipWidget,
 "tooltip",
 x, y, w, h );

(see vcl/unx/gtk/gdi/salnativewidgets-gtk.cxx)

to ask gtk to render the tooltip widget (as it does for the other
widgets), but the new tooltip sniffyness is in gtk's
gtk_tooltip_paint_window, a level above the gtk_paint_flat_box so its
unavailable to OOo/FF. I don't see a straightforward fix.
