Description Vincent Untz 2007-06-19 11:25:43 UTC 
I've added a tooltip to the workspace switcher with the new GtkTooltip API. The tooltip displays the name of the workspace under the mouse cursor.

However, since the pager is only one big widget, the tooltip text is updated but the tooltip window is never repositionned. This makes it look weird.

I've noticed this also happens for in testtooltips for the treeview.

Note that another solution might be to automatically reposition the tooltip when the text is changed. I don't know if it's a good idea, though.

Original-Summary: Request for a GtkTooltip API to reposition the tooltip

there shouldn't be any new API to reposition the tooltip, instead the automatic tooltip positioning code should be fixed/adapted to honour user requests. i'm adapting the bug summary accordingly.
