I will need to put the tooltips window back into the list of children of the 
toplevel to see what was (is) going on. The GtkWindow containing the tooltip is 
hidden when the tooltip disappears from the screen. This _should_ cause it to be 
removed from the list of children of the toplevel. I need to check about the 
children-changed signal.

Is it possible that a refresh just needed to be done to remove the window. Of 
course, needing to do a refresh each time a tooltip is popped up or down does 
not seem right.
