I'd like to show tooltip (pointer documentation) for each presentation on the screen even when no command is in progress. Any tips on how to obtain suitable text?

thanks I'll check that out. This might be tricky because with Emacs I have a preference for a tooltip I can precompute and store inside Emacs rather than having to call into Lisp/CLIM as the mouse is dragged.

/however/ I think that this should be implemented differently (I still need to think about it before commenting); a presentation type mixin and an :after presentation method seems more straightforward than inventing a separate protocol

ideally I'd just like a method i can call on a presentation that gives me back a string. maybe that's Fred's GET-TOOLTIP-TEXT.

Emacs already has tooltip support over image regions and ideally I'll reuse that but just populate it with reasonable data.
