## Tooltips

Tooltips are the little information windows that pop up when you leave your pointer over a widget for a few seconds. Use `set_tooltip_text()` to set a text string as a tooltip on any `Widget`. `Gtk::ToolItem`s are not `Widget`s, but have the same method for convenience. `Gtk::Tooltip` is used for more advanced tooltip usage, such as showing an image as well as text.
