Gtk "pop-up" annoyance

Is there a way to remove this little "pop-up" window every time I hover over an object in Gtk apps?

Thanks in advance

Re: Gtk "pop-up" annoyance

you can disable it here:

~/.gconf/apps/panel/global/tooltips

or use gconf-editor

for Firefox:

open url 'about:config'
change  'browser.chrome.toolbar_tips' to false

You could also try to add

gtk-enable-tooltips = 0

to your theme rc file (~/.themes/yourtheme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc). This should disable all gtk tooltips.

Thanks..I forgot that one. This indeed disables *every* tooltip, useful or not. To make it work for all themes and all users you can put this into  /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc , or ~/.gtkrc-2.0  for a specific user.
