Hi,

As it is visible in the screenshot, taken from Mageia linux development version, when lxpanel is set to the bottom of the screen, the tooltips appear at the place they should if lxpanel was set to the top of the screen. That issue appears only with lxpanel when it is built with Gtk+3, not with Gtk+2.

Best regards,

I have built lxpanel in a LinuxFromScratch system with gtk+-3.24.33 and have the same issue.

left panel displays no tooltip, whatever application.
right panel displays tooltip depending on the application.

All failing applications above do display tooltip properly on top panel.

Apply partial workaround for GTK3 tooltip positioning bug (MAGEIA#30574)
76d0d61 
GTK3 has multiple tooltip positioning issues.
We can only partially dodge this.

Apply a hack from:
* https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30574
* http://sophie.zarb.org/rpms/9d697fa6536295e90f166ca7199d7850/files/11

Thanks to Nicolas Salguero for the investigations.

To reduce the edit surface in the code of plugins, I moved the duplicated
parts to a separate function in misc.c and make it a part of lxpanel API.
(Ugly!)

Known issues:

1. The pager plugin tooltips are still buggy.
2. With this hack, tooltips don't seem to always show up when they should.

Partially fixes issue lxde#41
