How Do I Turn Off Tooltips?

[Doug Laidlaw]

I have directories ~/.gconf/  and ~/.gconfd/  Perhaps somewhere in there?

I run KDE, but since it ignores non-KDE apps, I keep GNOME as well.  GNOME has 
a Windows-like registry editor - and it makes about as much sense as the 
Windows one, too.  Try looking in there.  It sounds like a strong 
possibility.  But I would expect any change like that to be system-wide.

Doug.
