Bug Description

In edgy, when application (e.g.Synaptic) enables a button under mouse cursor,
it is necessary then to mouse-leave it and mouse-enter it again to make it really
accessible. If user wouldn't mouse-leave it and mouse-enter it again, then clicking
to this widget has no effect (it still seems to be disabled)

Well I am going to describe the problem more preciously.
If it is still not sufficient, please tell me, and I would try to record some desktop show.

Steps for reproducing:
1) start synaptic from gnome menu.
2) When main window is displayed (still disabled because synaptic is busy at start) point the mouse pointer to "Search" icon on window toolbar
3) Wait for synaptic main window become enabled
4) Try to click the search button (move pointer only inside button widget boundaries) - clicks do not work at all
5) Then move mouse pointer outside the button widget and back again
6) Click the button - now it works.
