Not sure, but apparently (if only in Ubuntu) the icon isn't being
registered correctly.

I know when I worked on my tooltips code, I had to remap the tooltip
each time my song changed, so perhaps this should be remapped when the
status of cover art changes? I don't think it'd be bad to show a
narrow tooltip that widens by (say) 33% when the cover art arrives.
But that's just my opinion. :)
