Hi,

I've been pulling my hair out trying to get tooltips to work within a toolbutton.

I'm using glade-2 (2.6.5), libglade-2.3.6, pygtk-2.4.0, and python 2.3.4

I've attached a simple test case that shows a normal button's tooltip works, but a toolbutton's doesn't.

Has anyone got an idea what's wrong.

My experience is that tooltips can't be attached to a ToolButton (or ToolItem) until after it is added to a Toolbar. I don't know how libglade builds up these things but I suspect that this may be the problem. Try adding the tooltip after the Toolbar is built as a workaround.

TIA, Stuart
