[TxMt] Growl instead of tool tips

[Brad Choate]

I would prefer to use Growl over tooltips too. The tooltip _is_  
barely readable. Moving your mouse even 1 pixel will clear it.  I  
would recommend either adding a minimum interval to display the  
tooltip or add a threshold for more forgiving mouse movement  
(especially important when a mouse click was used to trigger the  
command that displays the tooltip).
