Unfortunately I think there's been a misunderstanding with this patch, most
likely my fault for not being clearer;

- There is no need to add tooltips to buttons that already have text,
unless we want to add additional information. For example, on the OK
button, we might have a tooltip that says "Apply the changes and close the
dialog". That really is optional though, as screen readers could already
read the button text (but we should be consistent).

- We do need to add tooltips to buttons that don't have any text. For
example;
* dialogue title-bar buttons
* the "close tab" and "move tabs left"/"move tabs right" buttons that
may appear in tab bars
* the add row button at the top of a subnode control (e.g. to add a
column definition)
* the delete and expand row buttons in subnode grid rows

Sorry for not being clearer about the requirements.
