Strange NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_ of tooltip?

Output of awesome --version:

awesome v4.2 (Human after all)
 • Compiled against Lua 5.3.4 (running with Lua 5.3)
 • D-Bus support: ✔
 • execinfo support: ✔
 • xcb-randr version: 1.5
 • LGI version: 0.9.1

How to reproduce the issue: execute compton with following configuration

...
...
wintypes:
{
        # fade: Fade the particular type of windows.
        # shadow: Give those windows shadow
        # opacity: Default opacity for the type of windows.
        # focus: Whether to always consider windows of this type focused.
    dock = { fade = true; shadow = true; opacity = 0.85; focus = true; };
    tooltip = { fade = true; shadow = false; opacity = 0.85; focus = true; };
    menu = { fade = true; shadow = false; opacity = 0.85; focus = true; };                                                                                            
    popup_menu = { fade = true; shadow = false; opacity = 0.85; focus = true; };
    dropdown_menu = { fade = true; shadow = false; opacity = 0.85; focus = true; };
    notify = { fade = true; shadow = false; opacity = 0.85; focus = true; };
};

Actual result:

the tooltip is still completely opaque, unless add config normal = { fade = true; shadow = false; opacity = 0.85; focus = true; }; into the configuration file. However the "normal" will make all windows(clients) transparent.

Expected result:

make tooltip transparent when setting tooltip = { fade = true; shadow = false; opacity = 0.85; focus = true; }; in the compton configuration file.

I guess the tooltip has a wrong NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE?

Could you test if https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/1939 fixes this? It's a trivial patch that you can easily apply to your /usr/share/awesome/lib/awful/tooltip.lua with a text editor: https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/1939/files
