Hmmm, I can't reproduce the problem here with a little testing.
Assumming that you didn't close the window by destroying it with
the file manager (in which case you got what you deserved), 
the window should have been unmapped before it was destroyed,
and the tooltip timeout should have been removed at that point.

Is the problem reproducible? Could you say a bit more about
how you had the tooltips/widgets/windows set up and what
you did?

It's also possible that my eventloop patch has fixed or
covered up the problem - it changes timeout handling quite
a bit. If the problem is reproducible and you're feeling bored,
you could try applying the patch and see if it makes a 
difference. It's available from:

http://www.msc.cornell.edu/~otaylor/gtk-gimp/gtk+970925-otaylor-mainloop.patch.gz 

It should apply cleanly against 971025 despite the name.
