Well, it may have been a long gap, but you sent this at just the right 
time. I had found a use for item-specific tooltips, and had planned to 
implement that sometime in the next week. I had forgotten this was 
Windows only - now that you've reminded me of that restriction, I'll 
either not implement it at all, or move its priority (way) down and do 
it later.

btw - my plan was to use it for the items in the sizer-tree in the 
layoutEditor. Each item (sizer, spacer or component) in the tree has 
various properties associated with layout; currently you can view (or 
edit) these with a context-click and menu selection, and I thought it 
would be convenient to be able to simply hover the mouse over an item 
and have the tooltip display its properties.
