in sqlkit i substitute the header with a gtk.Label(), at that point you can
do:

   label.et_markup(...)
   label.set_tooltip_text(...)

and tooltips work as expected even thought it won't show the little arrow to
sort the column.

I had to substitute the header to be able to use markup in the label and to
have a menu  dropdown, by  I wasn't able to have the dropdown on button press
I just have it on button release.
