Hi,
There are now 4 little tooltips windows sticking on top of all windows and following me to every desktop I go :-(((.
The problem seems to be that the call:
SetWindowPos (hwnd, HWND_TOP, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_HIDEWINDOW | SWP_NOACTIVATE);
in TOOLTIPS_Hide() is ineffective (does not hide the tooltip).
Here is a +tooltip,+win,+x11drv trace of the situation before:
| trace:tooltips:TOOLTIPS_Hide Hide tooltip 5! (0x10042) | trace:win:SetWindowPos hwnd 0x10042, after (nil), 0,0 (0x0), flags 00000094 | trace:win:dump_winpos_flags flags: SWP_NOZORDER SWP_NOACTIVATE SWP_HIDEWINDOW | trace:x11drv:X11DRV_SetWindowPos hwnd 0x10042, after (nil), swp 0,0 0x0 flags 00000094 | trace:tooltips:TOOLTIPS_WindowProc hwnd=0x10042 msg=46 wparam=0 lParam=77a6f514 | trace:x11drv:X11DRV_SetWindowPos current (187,92)-(324,112), style 94800000 | warn:x11drv:SWP_DoOwnedPopups (0x10042) hInsertAfter = (nil) | trace:tooltips:TOOLTIPS_WindowProc hwnd=0x10042 msg=83 wparam=1 lParam=77a6f478 | trace:x11drv:SWP_DoNCCalcSize (1,1)-(1,1) | trace:x11drv:X11DRV_set_window_rectangles win 0x10042 window (0,0)-(0,0) client (1,1)-(1,1) | trace:win:RedrawWindow 0x10042 ((nil)) NULL 0,0-0,0 (nil) flags=08b8 | trace:win:dump_rdw_flags flags: RDW_VALIDATE RDW_NOINTERNALPAINT RDW_NOERASE RDW_ALLCHILDREN RDW_NOFRAME | trace:win:RDW_UpdateRgns hwnd 0x10042 [(nil)] -> hrgn [0x1], flags [08b8]
compared to the situation after, with added some of the +server trace.

where it all ends.
The INVALID_PARAMETER is, I think, the result of a failure of server function validate_window_rectangles(), choking on a window with size 0,0-0,0 and client 1,1-1,1.
I guess the validation is too strict, right?
