I agree in some sense. To do a log-file-like system would be nice.

Maybe better would be to have a log file which holds, let's say, up to  
ten tool tip contents. If the 11th will append, the first in the file  
will be deleted.

I mean, it isn't worth to have all contents of a tool tips at your  
hard disk. It is more or less a temporary situation like Luke  
mentioned. This also occurred to me that a tool tip poped up but I  
couldn't read it because I moved my mouse.
