yes, that would be a bug. :)
so now the real question is, how can we fix the bug?  then hiding will work 
when the mouse leaves and you won't need to add anything to the tooltip API, 
right?

btw, I haven't been able to reproduce this with clock tooltips. but they don't 
show seconds in hte tooltip any more... odd.

oh wow, that was interesting. I had a clock tooltip, and I switched desktops, 
and the tooltip went away... but then a couple of seconds later the minute 
changed and the content of hte tooltip came back with no border.
...ahaha. taking a screenshot of it brought the borders back. bizarre :)
