I can't make work the rich:toolTip component.
For example:
<div id="elementId"> <p>The second simple example</p> </div> <rich:toolTip for="elementId">Using a toolTip</rich:toolTip>
<span style="position: absolute; display: none; z-index: 99; background-color: red; visibility: visible;" id="j_id94" class="dr-rich-tool-tip rich-tool-tip"><span id="j_id94content">Using a toolTip</span><span style="display: none;" id="j_id94script"><script id="scriptj_id94" type="text/javascript"> new ToolTip({'delay':0,'hideDelay':0,'onshow':'','event':'mouseover','onhide':'','oncomplete':''} ,"j_id94","_viewRoot","client",false,"bottom-right",false,10,10,"A4J.AJAX.Submit('_viewRoot',null,event,ajaxOptions)",{'control':this,'oncomplete':function(request,event,data){;Richfaces.tooltips['_viewRoot'].toolTip = $('j_id94');;Richfaces.tooltips['_viewRoot'].toolTipContent = $('j_id94content');;Richfaces.tooltips['_viewRoot'].displayDiv();},'parameters':{'j_id94':'j_id94'} ,'onbeforedomupdate':function(request,event,data){;Richfaces.tooltips['_viewRoot'].toolTip.style.display = 'none';},'actionUrl':'/listini-test/faces/datiGenerali.xhtml?javax.portlet.faces.DirectLink=true'} );; </script></span></span>

As you can see - the bug has 3.2.0 fix version. You may:
1) Use tooltip as nested to the component which should pop up the tooltip
2) Use 3.2.0 snapshots
