When lxpanel is set to the bottom of the screen, the tooltips appear where
they would appear if lxpanel were set to the top of the screen, i.e. the
panel is at the bottom and the tooltips are at the top of the screen.

LXpanel has the tooltip bug that is resolvedby
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/8216

Please: debian lxde maintainers please recompile lxpanel.

Thanks
