Unity launcher tooltip should not be persistent

Asked by Michael Hanafey

It would be nice to be able to park the cursor in the Unity Launcher while working between two applications. Moving the cursor and clicking could then switch conveniently between apps. The problem is the launcher displays the name of the app under the cursor, and this tooltip then may obscure parts of the screen the user needs to see.

Why not provide an option to hide these tooltips after the mouse cursor is stationary for some period?
