[Dojo-interest] displayMessage problem

[Victor Danilchenko]

	So I did some more digging, and realized it's because of my postCreate 
message. My override method was:

postCreate: function () {
     this.displayMessage(uname_postdisplay_message);
}

	I was missing the call to parent's postCreate:

postCreate: function () {
     var retval = this.inherited("postCreate", arguments);
     this.displayMessage(uname_postdisplay_message);
     return retval;
}

	However, for some weird reason, the displayMessage method -- the reason 
why I overrode the postCreate in the first place -- doesn't in fact 
display as the tooltip with my message.

	The displaymessage text simply, silently, doesn't display. I tried 
displaying it from elsewhere, hanging it on a setTimeout call, I 
explicitly included dijit.Tooltip -- nothing.

	Has something changed about the displayMessage implementation? I didn't 
see anything in the docs...
