> oh, tooltips on menuitems :-( thats such a bad idea...

Why? This can be very useful. For example, if a menu has abbreviated labels for
its items, then it is kind to users to show a more full description on hover
(without having to make the label longer, refer to an external manual, etc.)

And given the number of people I've seen wanting tooltips on e.g. GtkComboBox,
I don't think I'm the only person who finds this useful. (I started my own
Combo widget so that I could have tooltips and mnemonics on items; let the
judgment commence.)
