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.
You'll probably want to customize `balloon-help-timeout' (currently
1500ms) and some other parameters. The implementation is in
edit-utils package, balloon-help.el. Questions to xemacs-beta,
please (although probably answers would come from me, if we're going
to try to make this a feature we should get people who would actually
use it heavily -- not me! -- involved).
