hi

you can do it

1) open glade
2) open the 'grp main window'
2) click on the label in the tab to select it
3) click on it again with right mouse button, and select
 'add event box'
4) click again with right button, in the popup menu
 choose 'eventbox1 -> select'
5) in the 'Properties: eventbox1' window of glade, click on 
 the 'basic' tab, and enter the desired tooltip
6) repeat the above up to maximum taste
