I agree with this. I wasn't asking for tooltips to be embedded into the
widget - only that the facility for linking text with widgets and events
be available so it is easy to add associated widgets.

I'm a little confused now though - there appears to be two textbox widgets
being discussed here... a new Gtk version and a privately developed version.
Is this the case?
