 If you attach pointer for example to #footer it looks bad.

 Try this code:

 {{{
 add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'my_admin_enqueue_scripts' );
 function my_admin_enqueue_scripts() {
     // Using Pointers
     wp_enqueue_style( 'wp-pointer' );
     wp_enqueue_script( 'wp-pointer' );

     // Register our action
     add_action( 'admin_print_footer_scripts',
 'my_admin_print_footer_scripts' );
 }

 function my_admin_print_footer_scripts() {
     // This will run during footer scripts, use jQuery to show the pointer
 here.
     $pointer_content = '<h3>Test</h3>';
     $pointer_content .= '<p>Test';
 ?>
 <script type="text/javascript">
 //<![CDATA[
 jQuery(document).ready( function($) {
     $('#footer').pointer({
         content: '<?php echo $pointer_content; ?>',
         position: 'bottom',
     }).pointer('open');
 });
 //]]>
 </script>
 <?php
 }
 }}}



 as you can see, arrow is over the infobox and even infobox is under
 footer. http://minus.com/mbde0EcLFG

 I think it heppens only when footer is not visible after page load. When i
 tried this on some admin page, where scroll bar is not visible (page is
 shorter than window height) pointer was ok.
