emacs (cygwin version running locally) has balloon help on the toolbar - 
this shows up through Firefox (Windows version) so the problem can be seen 
with a purely local set of applications that are commonly used.

The popups appear with two Windows windows on top of the emacs window, but 
if a cygwin/X window is interposed (e.g. xterm) the emacs popups do not 
appear in the covered region.
