Weeee, when I read your message I suddenly understood the problem 
event though it quite unrelated :)))))  Except for `motion-notify-event'
I should have enabled `enter-notify-event' and `leave-notify-event'.
And when I have done so, it started working, woo-hoo! :)

Now I only need to put relevant information into the tooltips, but
that should be straightforward.

And while I'm at it, I wish it was possible to control tooltips
position (they are always at the bottom of the widget an I cannot
visually tie them to the appropriate `area') and use marked up
text, like bold and stuff.
