    Try with The Gimp:

    File -> Acquire -> Screen Shot ...
    Grab the Whole Scree
    Grab After 5 Seconds Delay
    OK

    then select the window and position the mouse so you get a tool tip.
    It won't work if you select "Grab a Single Window" because technically
    the tooltip is a different window to the window it "belongs" to.

    Best, Darren
