It is stated in the help to the relevant variable (and so also in the
custom buffer) that you have to load balloon-help to see the effect. I
don't want a program to load a library that has global (maybe not
wanted) effects.

I asked Kyle Jones about this, and he argues that the way it behaves
now is right 99% of the time. Although this correct, I
would really like to have the possiblity to make the balloon behave
differently (i.e. move up) maybe depending on another extent property 
(set-extent-property foo 'balloon-help-up t) means move help balloon
up if it opens.

But that's not in my hands, unfortunately.
