Hi Sergii,

It is not easy to reproduce

Here too, once it shows. By the first time the mouse is on the button, 
the TT may not show, with the behaviour I will describe again. If then 
he mouse is moved again, it will show and then track as it should.

I still have one laptop wth ART and tried, the behaviour is slightly 
different (no grey icon) but the tooltip doesn't show sometimes and 
will show by moving the mouse again. That is, regarding the Button and 
TT, it behaves the same

The behaviour is
- start with a minimal desktop of windowmaker, no other apps besides 
xterm
- move with one continous movement the mouse on a ProjectCenter button 
(I use the toolbar)
- the second or third button (but usually the first time it works)
  * the tooltip doesn't show
  * on certain systems, at the same time, the app icon becomes totally 
grey, that is, it looses even the standard icon it had (e.g. the 
ProjectCenter icon), totally empty and stays so. As if WindowMaker had 
no clue about which app it was...
  * moving the mouse on the same button (or sometimes waiting long...) 
makes the ToolTIp appear and, in case, the Application Icon comes 
again!

Added confusion: opening apps (non-gnustep) , e.g. a browser and other 
windows and getting back to ProjectCenter everything seems to work! TT 
shows! closing the other apps keeps PC working TT, however clong and 
restarting PC, makes it act up again. That is, no restart of 
WindowMaker is needed to "reproduce" the issue.

It doesn't look cairo or art depdent.

Also, I tried on another system where I run XFCE and the issue doesn't 
happen, so I think it is indeed an interaction with WindowMaker.
