source code patch to compile with gtk+2.12

There is define NEW_API which hides GtkTooltips structure usage deprecated
since gtk+2.12
(http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-migrating-tooltips.html). If
that define set then it's possible to compile and start applet.

Last touched in 2005.  Candidate for maintainer-needed an/or treecleaners? 
Does anyone in gnome use it or want to maintain it?

fix is in tree.

I mean this is a "temporary" fix. For real code fixes, please work directly
with upstream. I'm sure they'll be open to contribution.
