I have solved the problem. The problem was related to sawfish's tooltips.
I had them configured to appear, but they were not appearing. Instead,
they were beeping whenever I hovered the mouse over a window frame. I
turned this impossibly obnoxious behavior off, but the question remains:
why are sawfish's tooltips not available? I installed sawfish-gnome.
