the tip_private portion will come into play once you implement context
sensitive help for your application. test out the "tooltips" test from
testgtk and use the "ToolTips Inspector", if you click on a widget with
a tooltip assigned, it spits out the associated tip_private portion, which
can be used to index a context sensitive help browser. (of course, that's
only the design intention, you're free to use tip_private for anything else
you'd want or just leave it at NULL).
