This is not suse-specific, but something that's really annoying me, and maybe some others here.
I run KDE, but I often use Firefox and Thunderbird. Does anyone know any way to turn off tooltips for these? I've not found anything in the apps themselves or in gnome-control-center.
The biggest problem is Thunderbird, which will raise a tooltip if you leave the cursor in the subject/from/etc list. If I then switch desktops (which I do from the keyboard), the tooltip will remain on the screen for some time, even though I'm on a new desktop, which is rather ugly.
Have you looked in all of the about:config settings?
Use a URL of about:config
I typed "tooltip" into the filter and it came up empty.
Try browser.chrome.toolbar_tips in firefox, set it to false and your tooltips should go away
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" 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!)
