[Gtk-sharp-list] DrawingArea ToolTips do not work?

[Hywel Thomas]

Hello,

I'm trying to get a Tooltip to work when the mouse is over a DrawingArea, but it
doesn't seem to show.  My simplified code is as follows:-

static void Main()
	{
		Application.Init();
 
		Window win = new Window("DrawingArea tooltip test");
		DrawingArea da = new DrawingArea ();
		Button btn = new Button("Button");
		HBox hbox = new HBox (true, 2);

		win.Add(hbox);
 		hbox.Add(btn);
		hbox.Add(da);
 
		Tooltips area_tips = new Tooltips ();
  		area_tips.SetTip (da,
			"Pointer is over DrawingArea",
			"longer explanation");

		area_tips.SetTip (btn,
			"Pointer is over Button",
			"longer explanation");

		win.ShowAll();
		Application.Run();
	}

I get a tooltip when the mouse is over the button, but not the DrawingArea.  Am
I doing something wrong, or should I submit this as a bug?  I can get events
from the DrawingArea (as long as I set the appropriate mask), so the DrawingArea
is functioning fine in all other respects.

Many thanks,

Hywel Thomas
