      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      build 1.6.0-beta-b59g
      build 1.5.0_06-b05

      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      2.6.15-26-k7


      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      If an application shares two screens on a multi-monitor setup, tooltips get shown on the wrong monitor. Usually the tooltips of components located on the second screen are shown on the primary one.

      Regression: It had worked with IBM Java 1.3

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      - Open Notepad.jar from the java demos.
      - Move its frame so that the "Create a new file" toolbar botton is shown on the first screen but the "Save to a file" button on the second one.
      Place the mouse cursor above the "Save to a file" button until the tooltip pops up.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      The tooltip should pop up on the second screen.
      ACTUAL -
      The tooltip pops up on the first screen.

      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.
