Tooltips are a special case, as it is not the GtkTooltips which is displayed
but the GtkWindow which the GtkTooltips creates. But the names of all these are
set to "gtk-tooltips" so you can do this:

style "tooltips"
{
  font = "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-240-*-*-*-*-*-*"
  fg[NORMAL] = { 0, 0, 58000 }                  # blue
  bg[NORMAL] = { 65000, 65000, 40000 }                  # yellow
}

# Set Tooltips (GTK 1.1).
widget "gtk-tooltips" style "tooltips"
