I tried this already but it has the same behaviour - tooltip is shown around the corners of a widget only :-( > the page for the tooltip API is here: > > https://developer.gnome.org/gtk2/stable/GtkTooltip.html > > it allows you to create custom tooltips, with complex contents (like > images) and to listen to specific coordinates (for instance, if you > have a custom canvas). unlike the old GtkTooltips API, the tooltip API > allows you to set tooltips on complex widgets like Gtk2::TreeView. There exists in the Perl-Gtk2 reference Gtk2::Tooltip (http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/pod/Gtk2/Tooltip.html) and a method $tooltip->set_tip_area ($rect) but how can I use this? There is no method in Gtk2::Widget or elsewhere to get the object to call this method. Also it doesn't exist directly anywhere. Could you provide a perl snippet so that I understand what I have to do?
