Sure, but my rdictcc-tooltip-mode as well as dictionary-el's tooltip
mode are buffer local. If a user enables one of them in a debugging
buffer he might really want translations. After toggling the mode off,
the GUD-tooltips will be back again.

I mean, there are always minor modes which can conflict, so the user has
to decide what he needs at a time. Enabling flyspell-mode in a buffer
with elisp code will overwrite the normal font-locking, which might be
exactly what the user wants.

Bye,
