I expect that sometimes it will be necessary.  But doing it in the
bonobo component (rather than the containing object) seems like it
should work most of the time.

How do we set tooltips for bonobo meny items?  The tooltips will
get exposed as atk_object_description values if we haven't
explicitly assigned descriptions via atk_object_set_description.

(I do hope we are not talking about new API here... :-( )
