Why do you need a tooltip window above all others? Isn't it enough 
to be bove its parent window?

It's happened to me (XP SP3) that a tool tip drawn just as another
program starts drawing itself on the screen has stayed on the screen
above all windows except the task manager window.  I couldn't get the
tool tip to go down in z-order nor could I get it to disappear until I
brought the focus back to its parent program.  Then it went away
immediately.  Curious behavior, for one such as me who doesn't know
how the gui creates, draws and destroys tool tips.
