How to set a tool tip on a gtk_tree_store ?

Hi All,

I have a gtk_tree_store (a GtkTreeView, which I gtk_tree_store_append) rows to.

I wish to have a tooltip in the form of a pixbuf.

I further wish the tooltip ONLY on certain entries in one of the columns, and
not on other rows, or other columns. i.e. a per cell specification would be idea.

- From what I gather (looking at GtkTooltip) I can

        gtk_tooltip_set_icon()

on the GtkTooltip of a widget.

The problem I'm facing is getting the GtkTooltip of a cell of the GtkTreeStore.

Has anyone done this, or seen sample code ?

I have read on gtk_tree_view_set_tooltip_cell(), but this requires me to
identify the GtkTreePath (to identify the row) and GtkTreeViewColumn (to
identify the column), and set the GtkTooltip. Again, I need a GtkTooltip.

The GtkTooltip doesn't appear to have a "new" function, and only appears to be
obtainable by setting the "has-tooltip" (which I would want to set on the cell),
and then the invoked callback from the "query-tooltip" signal. The problem is
that the private data will be different for each individual cell which has a
tool tip.

I cannot figure out a combination of calls/callbacks that will get me a
specified pixbuf for a specific cell.

Anyone famialiar enough with either the GtkTooltip interface, or with
GtkTreeView/Store ?

Thank you, and all the best,

- -Greg
