I'm guessing that you're having a problem with your color themes,
something that affected me for awhile due to my "reverse" (dark text on
light background) configuration, probably combined with the fact that I'm
running kde with its colors applied to gtk. I'm guessing that at least
at one point, kde wasn't applying both foreground and background colors
to the gtk tooltips, so one remained at the default, and because I had
the other one set "reverse", they ended up both near the same color and
impossible to read.
Let's see if I can dredge up my fix...
This is what I have in /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc.jed/gtkrc.tooltips (JED being
my initials):
# This sets a black tooltip foreground color,
# since otherwise this doesn't work
style "tooltips"
{
fg[NORMAL] = "#000000"
}
widget "gtk-tooltips*" style "tooltips"
IIRC I had to source that from somewhere, but I don't recall where, now.
Maybe it was in the GTK2_RC_FILES setting in my environment? But it
isn't listed there now, so either the kde bug is fixed in the 4.10 that
I'm running, or the above file is being sourced using some other
mechanism.
Anyway, I had to google the info before and was able to find it, so I'd
guess you should be able to find it too, if necessary.
