Setting a name is in fact probably the right way to handle it. 
As long as GtkTooltips is not a widget, 

 widget_class "GtkTooltip.GtkWindow"

is not going to work. I've applied something like your
patch, but with the name "gtk-tooltips" instead of 
"tooltips" to avoid namespace pollutions with names
the application might set on its windows.

As of right now there is no standard, since it has never
come up before. So we are free to use whatever we
like.

Normally, one uploads them to /pub/incoming/ on gtk.org - the
README file for that directory has instructions - and mails
ftp-admin@gimp.org. Discussion of patches belongs
on gtk-devel-list@redhat.com.
