Fix #318 which asked for the buddynote plugins notes to be shown in the tooltip. This was the easiest way I could think of to do it without making the buddynote plugin itself a gtk plugin. Eventually I think I'll see about moving the drawing-tooltip function to be a core plugin and this can get merged into buddynote itself. (But I don't think that can't happen until 3.0.0.)

"Related Pages" section.
