- It is nice that you added an example. It would be preferable if we
could work out an example that is something more than trivial, and to
which adding a Tooltip makes the difference between a difficult UI and a
discoverable one.

I'm not sure exactly what that should be; perhaps a Window with two
identical sides, but only one side has tooltips? Or better yet a Window
that is a data entry form (dialog) where there is a large amount of
supporting information in the tooltips explaining how to use it.

Here's a hint: if the program was not called ExampleTooltip it would be
a step in the right direction.

- It is 2008.

- You have removed Tooltips and added Tooltip, but there is no
documentation in the Tooltip class. That won't fly. See Signal for an
example of a class which doesn't have any public methods which is,
nevertheless, clearly documented.

Other than these small points, it's fine so far.
