Re: how can I set up a passive Gtk::CheckButton with just a tooltip?

["Milosz Derezynski" <internalerror gmail com>]

You could try just painting the check indicator using the style engine:

http://gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/reference/html/classGtk_1_1Style.html#e3b5d01cf574fa890832786eebf64f52
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.10/GtkStyle.html#id2911903

It's maybe somewhat odd to use this directly from an application, but
not totally out of the normal (custom widget implementations might
just use this..)
