very cool, might just work for me, brings up another question.  With
set_tooltip_text you don't need a handler, correct?  Yet Dieters mod
of my code introduces a handler.  Is there a way to set the tooltip
text and not use a handler?  Just seems a little inconsistent, though
I suppose there's a good reason for that or that I'm totally off the
wall!
