the easyest will be if you just copie the source of the tooltip an
customize it to your needs.the tooltip is very easy.

else you can watch the ENTER_NOTIFY and LEAVE_NOTIFY events of the
widgets of intrest and then set up a timeout, that will get refreshed on
MOTION_NOTIFY. if that timeout runs out you have the widget to show your
hint for.

have a nice day
