Bug Description

If the mouse cursor is placed over the right most item in the window list and the name of the tooltip is relatively long, the tooltip flickers. To reproduce open a few windows, let's say 5 terminals and as the last one thunderbird displaying some mail. If you place the mouse cursor over the thunderbird entry in the window list in the lower panel a tooltip should appear that starts to flicker. Instead it should either be placed more to the left so that it fits on screen or at least the flickering should be prevented (well, or both, whatever causes this flickering...). This problem only exists on gutsy.
