Right, I've got my tooltips working great. All is good there.
The only problem I'm having is changing the color. For some
reason this is just refusing to work.

My rc file looks like this:

#style for tooltips
style "tooltip_style" = "default"
{
   bg[NORMAL] = "#FFFE4BC4D"
}

widget "*tooltip_widget" style "tooltip_style"

and I initialize my tooltips like this:

/* Initialize Tooltips */
gtk_rc_add_default_file("/u/jeff/xt3rc");
ToolTips = gtk_tooltips_new();
gtk_tooltips_set_delay(ToolTips, 1000);
gtk_tooltips_force_window(ToolTips);
gtk_widget_set_name(ToolTips->tip_window, "tooltip_widget");

after this I use gtk_tooltips_set_tip() in various locations
thoughout the program to set the actual tip, but I keep
getting the default color. I've tried putting the
gtk_rc_add_default_file() before the gtk_tooltips_new()
and also after initializing the tooltips, but neither
make a difference.

It must be something very simple I'm overlooking. I
appreciate your help and patience. :)
