In the specific case of Client Side Decorations (CSD), like in Gnome, applications can use GtkHeaderBar, where you can set a tooltip. In Evince we do that for a similar use case you mention. A GtkHeaderBar can have a title and subtitle. In the subtitle we present the filename (basename), but you can get the full path through the tooltip. -- Germán Poo-Caamaño http://calcifer.org/
