I'm using front_page module and tried both front_page and a path I have pointing to it (my/home) with no dice. I'm assuming this is because the module retrieves the current path from $_GET['q'] which is blank, and the path is a required setting.

Maybe introduce a token like as block.module does to check it against variable_get('site_frontpage')

I do use $_GET['q'] although I've always suspected there is a better way. Let me think about this.

In the meantime, you could make a block that appears only in the frontpage, and make a helptip appear in that block, matching the path '%' (all paths). You can use weight now to make helptips appear only in one block. I know it's hoops to jump through - there should be a better way.
