Indeed, we have reimplemented our own. Not too difficult to do.

The newer versions of gtk+ (on the development branches) have a new tooltip 
API, I believe. We have no binding for these in GtkAda yet, since these are 
not considered as stable gtk+ releases, but you might want to look into this 
and perhaps build a small binding on top of it. GtkAda will eventually have 
one, but that might not be before several months (time for gtk+ to have a 
stable release on all the systems we support, and time to do the binding)
