All fltk widgets have a tooltip feature, eg:
http://fltk.org/doc-1.3/classFl__Widget.html#a41d417d5350306a6fb2154300b73d436
http://www.fltk.org/doc-1.1/Fl_Widget.html#Fl_Widget.tooltip
There is also Fl_Tooltip, but most people just derive from an FLTK
widget
and inherit that capability automatically for e.g. custom widgets.

On X platforms, FLTK uses pure X lib calls, so I'm not sure why working
with Xt
would be a problem. Someone else should weigh in on that, as I haven't
worked
directly with Xt in years.. fltk has prevented me from needing it,
which is one
of the main reasons I use it.

The STR (Software Trouble Report) bug system is how we received and
track bugs:
http://fltk.org/str.php
..and in that, the back and forth of resolution is handled.

No, there's currently no "commercial" support.
Though you can do things like put out bounties to resolve a particular
problem
if the fltk devs aren't fast enough, and your own R&D programmers can't
determine
how to create a patch.
The fltk project is managed by developers who do so in their spare time,
much like many of the other GPL/LGPL projects out there, and don't have
a commercial paradigm.
But putting out a cash bounty might entice one of the many fltk
programmers
or devs to take it on to solve a specific problem in a timely manner.
I'd suggest posting on fltk.general when there is a need for this,
and if someone responds, you can work back and forth in private email
to arrange details of payment and resolution.
