Comment(by deryni):

 So GTK+ has a slight naming annoying. GtkTooltips are deprecated (notice
 the trailing 's') while GtkTooltip is the new (2.12+) stuff. I had not
 previously looked at the GtkWidget *_tooltip_* functions (nor apparently
 too carefully at the GtkTooltip functions) and it would seem that we would
 indeed be able to use the custom window/widget functions to present the
 sort of tooltips we have at the moment.

 I would be interested in seeing if a patch could be written which
 abstracted the tooltip creation away from the tooltip data gathering so
 that clean and simple build-time version detection could be used to
 utilize whichever method of tooltip building is available.
