Bug Description
Playing music in Rhythmbox from Panflute (0.6.2) works great though the tooltips displayed are empty of artist's and album's title and album art as well. The oddity is that switching to the next song shows at first a working tooltip and then an empty one. As you'll notice in the screenshot, hovering with the mouse on the applet shows a non-working tooltip. I'm using Rhythmbox 0.12.8 on Lucid with the latest updated packages and a modified (which displays the notification at the top) notifiy-osd 0.9.29.

This is a known issue with interacting with Rhythmbox, since it doesn't reliably report when it has album art available. When it starts a new song, the metadata often doesn't include the artwork, and Rhythmbox doesn't provide any notification of when the artwork (if any) gets downloaded. The applet tries to work around this by querying Rhythmbox again a few seconds later to see if art is now available, but that obviously isn't reliable.
