I found this by luck. I have not found any official documentation which suggests
doing this.

"gtk-tooltip" is mentioned in _gtk_rc_init()
gtk_tooltip_init() does call gtk_widget_set_name() with "gtk-tooltip"

This returns the correct colors when the tooltip colors are changed via
gnome-color-chooser

A lot of this stuff isn't documented and has to be inferred from the  gtk source
code, sadly.
