this is not a "hidden" procedure. the tooltip knows about the widget,
but the widget knows nothing about the tooltip. you associated the
tooltip with the widget; you get to clean up later.  just connect a
cleanup handler to the "destroy" event for the widget each time you
make such an "anonymous" association between objects.
