## Detailed Description

Tooltips are the messages that appear next to a widget when the mouse pointer is held over it for a short amount of time.

They are especially helpful for adding more verbose descriptions of things such as buttons in a toolbar.

This widget holds tooltips for other widgets. You should only need one Tooltip widget for all widgets you wish to add tips to.

Deprecated:
  Use the Gtk::Tooltip API instead.
