That is what I came up with too, just based on a quick look at the TerraTooltipSkin code. Although it sets up a mouse listener on the Display, I don't think of that as being a problem.
You may well be right about there being a better way to achieve this though. The only issues I saw were - Configuring the Display used for the tooltip so that it doesn't accept focus. That way, the primary Pivot window will continue to have focus. - Disabling the fade transition (but I never have them enabled anyway!) Screenshot attached if you are interested.
