Re: [gtk-list] Re: how do i set the tooltip color?

[David Benson <daveb idealab com>]

Except that I think they get the same style as
popup windows.  That tends to give low constrast in
most themes.  (Indeed basically all the time)

Would a patch to add 

  GdkColor tooltip_fg;
  GdkColor tooltip_bg;
  GdkGC   *tooltip_fg_gc;
  GdkGC   *tooltip_bg_gc;

to GtkStyle be acceptable?
(So that tooltips could be themed separately...)
