Comment 187 for bug 527458

Tooltips are a good GUI invention that's been around for ages. I believed something was wrong with the installation when I installed Narwal. Generally Ubuntu has improved a lot, but the missing tooltips is just plain stupid, and it was a pain to find the system configuration stuff -a tooltop for the "power button" would have helped that perhaps (and why is the main menu so non-menu like?). Anyway, tooltips are a good thing, and if a few people feel they don't need them, then it should be possible to turn them off. They shouldn't have been deleted.
