Yup, just noticed that its stopped working here with 1.1.12.
Hmm... its no longer a draw window or something.
Anyway, doing something like the following patch is more the kind of thing.

This seems like something the styles people would havbe tackled.
Is there any kind of standard for case, spacing etc for the names used
by rc files?

Anyway, where does one send patches like this?

        tooltips->tip_window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_POPUP);

        gtk_window_set_policy (GTK_WINDOW (tooltips->tip_window), FALSE, FALSE, TRUE);

        gtk_signal_connect_object (GTK_OBJECT (tooltips->tip_window), 
  				 "expose_event",
  }
}

And then:

# Brian's gtkrc
style "tooltip"
{
  bg[NORMAL] = { 1.0, 1.0, 0 }
}
widget "*tooltips" style "tooltip"
