yes, I realized this overnight, that is why the build has failed again
this morning. It is some conditional about the Evince library version
that is needed to get the build working again. I'll try and dig it out.

That is to say, tooltips are worse in Gtk3 (turned off in Denemo after
version 3.10) and palettes worse in Gtk2 (no rectangular palettes). Gtk3
is unstable and is increasingly concentrating on small portable devices
making it increasingly difficult to use for large complex programs
requiring lots of screen space.
