right, i was referring to the tooltip system automatically setting the
neccessary motion event masks, and why that is required, in response to
Damon's suggestion to let the users take care of it.
recap:
- setting up event masks is too hard for users
- GtkTooltip forcefully requests motion events on the right window
- GtkTooltip needs to know *when* to force motion events, for this,
  we need ::has-tooltip.
