Given the lack of interest in my questions / remarks in both the mailing
list and the IRC channel, I finally decided to manage tooltips myself,
using an undecorated window which I translate / update as the cursor
moves. This is a poor thing because the ergonomy is no more present
(this window does not look as a tooltip even if its use is). GTK core
developper should think about this because this is a frequently asked
question / requested feature (according to google).

Michael, I want to thank you, you are the only answer I got.

Best regards,
