Bug Description

In the AccountListCtrl, nothing has ToolTips in GTK. It seems to be because they are children of a StaticBox, as I can duplicate this behavior by trying to add a tooltip the text in the StaticBox in the wxPython demo.

Looks like this is a wxWidgets bug which I can't do anything about. Re-milestoning.

Actually I think this can be worked around by plugging in an additional Panel (with an appropriate BoxSizer) as the only "child" of the StaticBoxSizer. See the attached patch which fixes tooltips for the account control bitmap buttons.

Funny, I was just thinking about this bug as I noticed today I have tooltips again in both 0.4 and 0.5. Could it have been fixed with some gtk update, perhaps? I am on Intrepid and can't seem to find any missing tooltips. What about your Karel?

I am running an up-to-date intrepid, no tooltips in a staticboxsizer for buttons/checkboxes whatsoever. i even tried different gtk engines but had no luck. (the tooltips are shown for textctrls). i installed versions of wxgtk and gtk2 from jaunty - nothing seemed to change.

I'll target this for 0.4.0.3 as well, should be pretty easy thanks to your patch.

Okay I've committed an expanded version of your patch to 0.4 and 0.5. I made everything in the control a child of that subpanel because other things have tooltips too (like the hide zero balance check) and other things might eventually as well. Seems to be working well on my end.
