M-x balloon-help-minor-mode RET
AFAIK the only thing that supports them by default is the toolbar,
although I have an unfinished project called "inspector" that gives
information about a buffer position (character, faces, extents) that
uses them.
preview-latex from AUCTeX can use them if you customize
`preview-use-balloon-help'
If you turn this XEmacs-only option `on', then moving the mouse
over previews and icons will show appropriate help texts. This
works by switching on `balloon-help-mode' in the buffer if it is
not already enabled. The default now is `off' since some users
reported problems with their version of XEmacs.
