Bug Description

Using:
elementary-beta1
gala 0.1-0~r267+pkg16~precise1
openbox 3.5.0-2ubuntu2
xfwm4 4.8.3-1ubuntu1.1

Case 1 (granite-demo):

Case 2 (midori-granite):
Openbox: http://imgur.com/a/urHub#4
Xfwm4: http://imgur.com/a/urHub#5

Case 3 (midori-granite):

Notice how Gala (and sometimes Openbox) work around this bug by positioning the popover inside the screen. As a tradeoff, this workaround makes the "arrow" of the popover point to an incorrect position (i.e. not the position of the icon that triggered the popover).
