I haven't rebooted yet, but I've noticed the new tooltips are showing up in newly-launched apps for me. Oddly, I can see the transparency in Rhythmbox - I can partially see through the tooltip to rest of the Rhythmbox interface 'below' - but not Firefox. The tooltips in Firefox appear completely opaque. Just thought it was an oddity worth mentioning.

Indeed, I can confirm the firefox seem to use engine rendered tooltips. WebKit based browsers (I've tested midori and chromium) use the refreshed ones.
Maybe firefox bypases gtk and calls the engine functions itself for tooltips -- after all, it just emulates gtk...

Right, I forgot that. Well, if it's all down to Firefox's weirdness I guess there's not much to do about it...

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.
