David,

   You're absolutely correct. Every application using icons defaults to using
tool tips. As you write, it requires moving the pointing device and takes a
bit more time.

   Text on a toolbar does not require tool tips. And, many applications have
keyboard shortcuts so that Alt-<letter> provides direct access. For example,
the GIMP allows me to typd Ctrl-Shift-e to export a file instead of clicing
on the File menu, then the Export item.
