📄 Description

UpdateEvent::Icon rebuilds the tray image widget via set_image().
When that happens, the old widget is removed and the new Picture does not inherit the existing tooltip.
As a result, tray item tooltips can disappear after an icon change and stop appearing on later hover events.

What this changes

Preserves the current tooltip before replacing the image widget.
Reapplies that tooltip to the new Picture.
Also sets the tooltip on the root tray Button so tooltip state survives child widget replacement.

Reproduction

Run a StatusNotifierItem that updates IconName dynamically.
Hover the tray item and confirm the tooltip is visible.
Change the icon at runtime, for example:
- mute/unmute a volume tray item
- cross a volume icon threshold
Before this patch, the tooltip can disappear after the icon update and never return on later hover.
After this patch, the tooltip remains available after icon changes.
