Well, it appears to show that Gtk::Tooltips::set_tip() does not work with a 
Gtk::ToolButton object.  That looks like either a GTK+ bug, or an 
undocumented "feature" of GtkToolButton.

The GTK+ documentation for the gtk_tool_item_set_tooltip() function says that 
gtk_tool_item_set_tooltip():

"Sets the GtkTooltips object to be used for tool_item, the text to be 
displayed as tooltip on the item and the private text to be used. See 
gtk_tooltips_set_tip()".

The latter comment suggests that gtk_tooltips_set_tip() should also work.  
Resetting the tip with Gtk::Tooltips::set_tip() after the tip has been set 
with Gtk::ToolButton::set_tooltip() also fails to work (in other words, the 
previous tip text is retained).  Can you try the unwrapped GTK+ objects and 
see if you get the same result?

Chris.
