[William Price]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

The search engine icon tooltip confuses the user when its text is inconsistent
with the currently displayed icon.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Firefox
2. Hover over the search engine *icon* (e.g. Google) and note empty tooltip
3. Hover over the search textbox to the right of the icon, note correct tooltip
4. Hover over the icon again and note that the icon's tooltip is now correct
5. Switch search engines using the icon's pull-down menu
6. Hover over the search engine icon and note the OLD tooltip remains
7. Hover over the search textbox and then the icon and note the correct tooltips

Actual Results:  
Icon's tooltip is not updated until a mouseover event on the TEXTBOX.

Expected Results:  
Icon's tooltip should display correctly immediately after startup AND after
changing search engines even if mouse has not hovered over the search textbox.

Tested with a clean profile.
