Bug Description

When I start AWN - either by executing avant-window-navigator manually, or when it starts up automatically upon logging in - the tool tip that is normally displayed when placing the mouse cursor over the Mail Applet icon is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen. It disappears when I place the mouse cursor over the Mail Applet icon and then remove it (like a normal tool tip would).
I have attached a screenshot.

rune@runescomp:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04

The package python-awn-extras in Ubuntu provides awn-extras and the version in the Lucid repositories is used ("universe" repository)

Using version 0.4.0-0ubuntu1.

Windows manager is compiz.

Video card: ATI Radeon HD 3870. Driver: open source "radeon" driver (xserver-xorg-video-radeon in Ubuntu) version: 1:6.13.0-1ubuntu5

Confirmed with compiz and nvidia, the tooltip appeared in the lower left corner, but not reproducable. Actually there is an error reported on console, I'll try to fix it and probably don't let the tooltip show up at applet start at all.

This is probably fixed in revision 1407. Since I have the issue very rarely, I can't confirm it for sure. Could you please test when a new PPA is available and report back whether the problem still exists.

I have added the AWN Testing PPA, updated, and upgraded. The following packages were upgraded:

    libdesktop-agnostic-cfg-gconf libdesktop-agnostic-fdo-glib libdesktop-agnostic-vfs-gio libdesktop-agnostic0 python-desktop-agnostic

Not sure if this is intended? Under available versions in Synaptic for the package "awn-applets-python-core" I only see "0.4.0-0ubuntu1 (lucid)". Is this intended as well?

The bug is still present with these packages updated.

Another strange thing that might be helpful: When avant-window-navigator is started from a terminal, the tool tip appears in the upper *left* corner (I'm pasting terminal output of this below). When it is started from the Applications menu, or just not in a terminal, the tool tip appears in the upper *right* corner.

Here's the terminal output:

A more read-friendly version of the terminal output.

That's not the complete PPA yet. Please uninstall avant-window-navigator and awn-applets (this will not remove your settings) and install the same packages with "trunk" in their names, like awn-applets-python-core-trunk.

Ah, of course.
Just did that, and now the bug is gone :).

Thanks for your help!
