Bug Description

In 15.04 I have terrible looking contact's tooltips in Empathy with its content being almost unreadable (screenshot attached).

I compared tootlip section of the file /usr/share/themes/Ambiance|Radiance/gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets.css to the same file in Ubuntu 14.04 and found that original one (from Ubuntu 15.04) doesn't have the next:

.tooltip * {
  background-color: transparent;
}

Then I added this to gtk-widgets.css, switched themes forth and back and now I have nice tooltips like in previous versions of Ubuntu.

I am not sure if this is Empathy UI bug or Ubuntu's GTK (Ambiance and Radiance) themes' one. So let's start here.
