I was using eventboxes to show tooltips on the labels of column headers in columned lists. Disappointed that all my carefully written tips didn't work anymore when moving from 1.2 to 2.2, I reported this bug to bugzilla. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117978 Now I'm trying to put tooltips on a gtk_tree_view by setting an eventbox as column widget, but it also doesn't work! What went wrong here? When I use a button instead of an eventbox as column widget, no tooltip either. Even though the above bug refers to a deprecated widget, now with this problem also occurring on a treeview, I hope it will get fixed for both. Is there a workaround? By the way, it still seems necessary to put a label in an eventbox to display tooltips, but labels now respond to mouse events (labels can be selectable). Also, I'd hate to see clists go away! They're much simpler to use. Manuel _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
