It does... at least it displays the tooltips (might be it doesn't have
a window and the GtkList does the event handling... whatever).

While hacking away, I found something strange: add a tooltip to
GtkPreview. Doesn't sho up, right? At least it didn't here on my
machine. Until 'unclutter' switched off the mouse cursor, that is. A
second later (the defined wait period for tooltips) the tooltip pops
up!!!!

Anybody know why that is? And how to get the tooltip to show up *with*
a mouse cursor?

Bye, J
