Tooltips

Tooltips are the little information windows that pop up when you leave your pointer over a widget for a few seconds. Use set_tooltip_text() to set a text string as a tooltip on any Widget. Gtk::ToolItems are not Widgets, but have the same method for convenience. Gtk::Tooltip is used for more advanced tooltip usage, such as showing an image as well as text.
