Hi Glen,

the tooltips stopped working in 2.20/06 after I "fixed" something in
TUnixSystem::DispatchOneEvent(). To get it working again make the following
change in UNIX_UnixSystem.cxx:

if (DispatchTimers(kTRUE)) {
// prevent timers from blocking file descriptor monitoring
if (NextTimeOut(kTRUE) > kItimerResolution)
return;
}

to

if (DispatchTimers(kTRUE)) {
// prevent timers from blocking file descriptor monitoring
Long_t to = NextTimeOut(kTRUE);
if (to > kItimerResolution || to == -1)
return;
}

This has of course been fixed in our dev version.

Cheers, Fons.
