tooltip text for bottom toolbar items hidden by taskbar

[rickmastfan67]

Inkscape 0.48.3.1 r9886
Widows 7 x64 SP0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start up Inkscape (with or without a file).
2. Maximize Inkscape to full screen.
3. Move your mouse to the bottom toolbar and hover it over any of the objects there (use the zoom as an example) to display the tooltip for the item.

What happens:
The tooltip for zoom is shown, however it's completely hidden by the Windows 7 taskbar (you can see the box, hiding under the taskbar, just can't read it as the text is completely blurred).

What should happen:
The tooltip for zoom should be shown overtop of the Windows 7 taskbar.

This is a regression from 0.48.2 as in that version, the tooltip was shown correctly overtop of the Windows 7 taskbar.

Also, I've been able to duplicate this with a brand new preference file, so there is nothing corrupted in my personal preference file causing this to happen. Just wanted to say that before you asked.

Probably related to the newer Gtk+ stack used for the Windows port of Inkscape 0.48.3.1.

reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.2, 0.48.3.1 and trunk built with Gtk+/X11 2.24.10 on OS X Lion (tooltips show beneath the dock),
not reproduced Inkscape 0.48.3.1 and trunk built with Gtk+/Quartz 2.24.10 (tooltips of status bar widgets show above the dock).

You can also add the right click menus to the list of stuff that the Windows 7 taskbar now hides by staying over it in 0.48.3.1 unlike in 0.48.2.

I've attached a picture showing this happening. At least with this one, you can just click higher and avoid it unlike with the tooltips getting hidden by the taskbar. So, it isn't as bad as the tooltips getting completely hidden (which effects the Layer box since when there is only one layer, it opens down instead of up like when there are more than one layers in the document), but still annoying
