	Could we not make the tooltip window a child of the accessible that
threw it up ? though that's most likely ugliness and pain, hmm.

	Sigh; possibly the problem with tooltips is not emitting
children-changed on the application when a tooltip window disappears -
or (quite possibly) the resources associated with the tooltip are not
destroyed, just hidden thus the Atk objects hang around [ and I still
very strongly feel that proxies for un-mapped GtkWidgets should not
appear in the tree at all ].

	Regards,

		Michael.
