The tooltip isn't set because there's no code to set it probably because of the way the older (<2.12) tooltips were done. You could file a feature bug report against GTK to add syncing tooltips for buttons. For buttons specifying a label seems mutually exclusive with specifying a stock id. The docs state that various properties are synced but not that all or conflicting or unused properties are synced though it would be useful if there was more detail about how these were applied for the various proxy objects.

Re: [pygtk] Dynamically resize text to fit a fixed sized label
Maybe this would help: http://faq.pygtk.org/index.py?req=show&file=faq04.015.htp Vlada F Wolff napsal(a): Op Dinsdag 2008-03-11 skryf Darwin Bautista: Hi all, I'm planning to dynamically resize the text to fit a fixed sized label when it overflows. How do I determine if a certain text (variable length) will overflow a fixed sized label? Also, is there a way of estimating the required font size for the text to fit inside the label? Thanks in advance. Hi Darwin I think you need to look at something like pango.Layout which has .get_pixel_size(). I don't think there will be an easy way of estimating the font size. If you have non-ascii users in mind, realise that you might need to keep height in mind as well, and that translations of text might be a lot longer than you planned for. If you make the font a lot smaller to fit into a button, things might end up not being readable. But I'm guessing a few things between the lines of your message.
