Hi all.

It's nice to see that tooltips have become an integral part of XForms as
of V0.89.

I've created tooltips on various pixmap buttons in my XForms application
using fl_set_object_helper() but have noticed that the tooltip only pops
up while the button object is active. If I deactivate the button (as
indeed I want to, depending on what the app is doing) the tooltip doesn't
appear.

Now I don't know what everone else thinks, but I reckon that tooltip text
should appear whether a button is active or not. And this is certainly
the behaviour that most Windows 9x programs I've looked at exhibit.

Perhaps a feature request for a future version of XForms?
