Comment 8 for bug 282676

Further debugging reveals that as you do a adept update on the sources, the tooltip works and then is overridden again. The offending line is 125. See below code snippit:

   def aptDirectoryChanged(self, path=None):
        """ check for updates, if there are any show the tray icon """
        metaRelease = MetaReleaseCore()
        while metaRelease.downloading:
            time.sleep(1)
        self.new_dist = metaRelease.new_dist
        self.trayToolTip = ""

The self.trayToolTip = "" resets the tooltip to empty again after it properly displays the tooltip on the first detection. I suspect that this should go into some if/then check or be pulled into the init method. Will need some testing.
