John Gill wrote a Cell class for matplotlib as part of his table
module.  A cell is a rectangular patch with an edge and face color
with text inside.  You could reuse this to roll your own tooltips box
for the drawing are, and customize the size, colors and font to make
it look as much like a tooltip as possible.  The Cell class renders
into a DrawingArea.
