OK, I have discovered that the culprit is the Compiz fade animation on
close for Tooltips.

=========================
Workaround:
=========================
In Compiz Settings Manager, under Animations, "Close Animation" tab, look for the window match line for Fade that reads:

(type=Menu | PopupMenu | DropdownMenu | Combo | Dialog | ModalDialog |
Normal)

Edit that line and add to the end of it:

& !(class=\.exe$)


=========================
Resolution:
=========================
Please add this rule by default so as to avoid bothering Wine users. Thanks.

Title:
  Wine tooltips don't disappear entirely from screen

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This bug does not happen with Unity 2D or Gnome-Shell. Same problem on
  both Oneiric and Precise (up-to-date).

  When a tooltip from a Wine app disappear, its shadow remains. This can quickly leads to an unusable window.
  To clean these shadows, I have to move the window.

  I confirmed this bug with Mathcad 14, GeNIe and some others not-known
  apps. It does not happen, for example, with VLC or Steam.

  If you want to test with something free and lightweight, you can try
  with Sumatra: http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/download-
  free-pdf-viewer.html

  
  Attached is a picture of a rather extreme case (made with a non-free app).
