Looks like I have hit a bug with awful.tooltip.
Tooltip creation:
gmailwidget = wibox.widget.textbox()
gmailwidget_t = awful.tooltip({ objects = { gmailwidget, mailicon
}, timer_function = function () return 'meh' end})
Now when I point my mouse at `gmailwidget` or `mailicon`, I get the
following backtrace:
W: awesome: luaA_dofunction:108: error while running function
stack traceback:

argument #2 to '?' (number expected, got nil)
So I looked into placement.lua, line 113, which is:
local screen_geometry = capi.screen[c.screen].workarea
There is only one argument in there, `c.screen`. So I put a print
statement there:
print(' **** in placement.no_offscreen *** ')
print(c.screen)
print(' **** ')
Compiled and re-installed awesome. And, lo:
...
**** in placement.no_offscreen ***
nil
****
...
WTF! `c.screen` is nil.
So I went looking in tooltip.lua to see how tooltip is created and the
screen is set. Looks like the following line in the function `show`:
self.wibox.screen = mouse.screen
I added some print statements there:
print(' **** in tooltip.show **** ')
print(mouse.screen)
print(self.wibox.screen)
self.wibox.screen = mouse.screen
print(self.wibox.screen)
print(' **** ')
Compiled and re-installed awesome. And the output this time is pretty weird:
...
**** in tooltip.show ****
1
nil
nil
****
...
How would you explain that?
