<p>
Tooltips are the little information windows that pop up when you leave your
pointer over a widget for a few seconds. Use
<code class="methodname">set_tooltip_text()</code> to set a text string as a tooltip
on any <code class="classname">Widget</code>.
<code class="classname">Gtk::Tooltip</code> is used for more advanced tooltip usage,
such as showing an image as well as text.
