Urgh. I hate bugs.

Half-working workaround: In awful/tooltip.lua, function place(self), replace the
call to a_placement.under_mouse(self.wibox) with:
local geom = self.wibox:geometry()
local coords = mouse.coords()
self.wibox:geometry({ x = coords.x, y = coords.y })
However, this isn't really enough to fix this.
