I am having trouble doing this. Whenever I use gtk_widget_set_name()
I get errors that my tooltip widget is not a GtkWidget. Sure enough,
it's a GtkTooltips. So, then I tried doing casting, but that
doesn't work. So I tried having my widget be a GtkWidget, but then
I'm running into problems with gtk_tooltips_new() because it
returns a GtkTooltips.

So then I tried something like:

widget_class "GtkTooltips" style "tooltip_style"
widget_class "*GtkTooltips" style "tooltip_style"
class "GtkTooltips" style "tooltip_style"
class "*GtkTooltips" style "tooltip_style"

and I couldn't get any of those to work. So, now my
file looks like this:

#style for tooltips
style "tooltip_style" = "default"
{
   bg[NORMAL] = "#FFFE4BC4B"
}

class "GtkTooltips" style "tooltip_style"

and I'm calling it like this:

/* Initialize Tooltips */
ToolTips = gtk_tooltips_new();
gtk_tooltips_set_delay(ToolTips, 1000);
gtk_rc_add_default_file("/u/jeff/xt3_gtkrc");


What am I doing wrong?
