That initial tooltip never shows up for me, which I think is the correct 
behaviour, so I just put whatever in there to make it a really long line 
to get around the wx bug.

Cool. Yeah, I don't think wx gets as much testing on GTK as it does on 
Windows.

Probably. You have that Enable(False) call in there. However, I notice 
from the docs that wx.ToolTip.Enable() is a "global" call -- it doesn't 
just enable or disable that particular tooltip. I can't say I really 
understand what that means, though.

Well, it seems to work OK for all the next tips.

I think it does. I think GTK and MSW get about equal usage, with wxMac a 
very distant third.

(and this is working very poorly on Mac)

Some things work better on Windows, some on GTK. In this case, I thihk 
we're bumping into cross-platfrom issues. wx tries to use native 
functionality where it can and that does make for differences.

I'm going to take this discussion over to wxpython-users -- are you on 
that list too?
