no, but i'm fairly certain that tooltips are not part of the
answer. they work by connecting to the enter_notify and leave_notify
events of a widget. ergo, if the cursor is within the widget, the
tooltip will not appear.
otoh, i suppose you could fake an enter_notify event, but this just
seems like its asking for trouble.
