Hello,

If I have disabled tooltip-mode, is there a way to tell Emacs that it should 
expand the height of the echo area (where tooltips are displayed) if the 
tooltip is longer than the screen is wide? Currently the words just run off and 
I can't see them.

Additionally, I believe the info manual and docstring for 
`x-gtk-use-system-tooltips' may need updating. In section 21.18 Tooltips, it 
says "If Emacs is built with GTK+ support..." and goes on to state that users 
can change `x-gtk-use-system-tooltips' to nil. However, I was under the 
impression that the recommended way to do this was to call (tooltips-mode -1).

Thanks,
Alex

I'm not sure it was on purpose: the log message which introduced the
above says "to closer match the behavior of C code".  But I guess you
are right that someone could become annoyed, so I added a new
defcustom and pushed the change to the master branch.

Note that this option is only effective on GUI frames.

With that, I'm closing the bug report.

Thanks.
