Generally only widgets with their own windows can have tooltips.
Though a few widgets have InputOnly windows which work as well.
Glade 2 has this code:


  /* Only widgets with windows can have tooltips at present. Though
     buttons seem to be a special case, as they are NO_WINDOW widgets
     but have InputOnly windows, so tooltip still work. In GTK+ 2
     menuitems are like buttons. */
  if (!GTK_WIDGET_NO_WINDOW (widget) || GTK_IS_BUTTON (widget)
      || GTK_IS_MENU_ITEM (widget) || GTK_IS_TOOL_BUTTON (widget))


Tooltips are handled slightly differently in toolbars.
gtk_tool_item_set_tooltip() is used rather than gtk_tooltips_set_tip().
