Try browser.chrome.toolbar_tips in firefox, set it to false and your tooltips should go away
Perfect, thanks! (Now why couldn't they have called it tooltips like everyone else does?)
I did find in gconf-editor "/apps/panel/global/tooltip_enable", but tooltips are still showing up. (As an aside: good god! What horrid spawn of eldritch evil possessed them to implement windows registry in linux?!?)
They didn't. It's text based (xml) and distributed, not the centralised BLOB that you find on "the other OS"
Ah, ok... that gconf-editor was giving me flashbacks to regedit!
That said, I'm no fan of it, mostly because gnome developers seem to use it as an excuse for not having to come up with a better GUI (something like: where should we stick this button? I don't know, just stick the feature in gconf!)
More than that... I've read where they've deliberately taken options out of the gui entirely because they thought it would just confuse the user!
