Both firefox and OpenOffice have their own tooltip implementations and just use GTK+ theme colors. I have hope to get that fixed at least for OpenOffice.
They both (well I only checked OOo, but FF is pretty much the same thing) basically call...
gtk_paint_flat_box( GtkTooltipWidget->style, target_drawable, GTK_STATE_NORMAL, GTK_SHADOW_OUT, &clipRect, GtkTooltipWidget, "tooltip", x, y, w, h );
(see vcl/unx/gtk/gdi/salnativewidgets-gtk.cxx)
to ask gtk to render the tooltip widget (as it does for the other widgets), but the new tooltip sniffyness is in gtk's gtk_tooltip_paint_window, a level above the gtk_paint_flat_box so its unavailable to OOo/FF. I don't see a straightforward fix.
