Thanks. This has been bothering me for a while too. The only thing to
worry about is backwards compatibility. gtk.Tooltip was introduced in
PyGTK 2.12. I added a function called try_set_tooltip_text that sets the
tooltip text only if the necessary functions are available.

I've been trying to keep compatibility with PyGTK 2.8, not for any
special reason but only because that was a reasonable choice at the time
I started caring about it. Debian stable has 2.12. Just now looking, I
see a place where we're even checking for gtk.STOCK_ABOUT, which was
introduced in PyGTK 2.6. But we can probably start to relax the oldest
of these restrictions.
