Hi Jeff, I do this with a resource file:

-- 
# style for tooltips
style "tooltip_style" = "default"
{
        font = "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-*-*"
        bg[NORMAL] = { 0.9, 0.8, 0.5 }
}

widget "*tooltip_widget" style "tooltip_style"
-- 

Use gtk_widget_set_name() to name your tooltip widget "tooltip_widget",
and it'll pick up the colour and font. You can use
gtk_rc_add_default_file() to add the rc file for your app (so you don't
need to touch ~/.gtkrc).

I expect there's a better way :/
