I know that glade doesn't let you set tooltips for many different
controls (such as a GtkComboBoxEntry -- is this a bug?). My fix is to
put the combobox inside an event box and assign the event box a
tooltip.

PS, sorry the mail didn't get sent to the mailing list last time. I
think the mailing list should set a "Reply-To" header pointing to
itself. Replying to the sender, rather than the list seems like too
common a mistake.
