I’m working on adding the new features of upcoming gtk+ 2.12. For the  
moment, I’ll need to use GTK\_CHECK\_VERSION(2,11,0) as 2.12 is not out,  
I’m wondering whether you would like it stays like this or we bump to  
2.12 when 2.12 is out.

Wow!

Now, we can use 2,11 and will bump to 2.12 when 2.12 is out as you said  
;).

BTW,  
Should we need to implement gtk\_widget\_(set|get)\_tooltip\_text() ?  
If they are the same with “tooltip-text” property accessor, we don’t  
need to  
implement them by hand.  
#There is “tooltip\_markup”, too.

I see. As \_set and \_get functions of gtk are sometimes properties and  
sometimes not, I often do this mistake. Sorry!
