That trick is well-known and I'm using it on my Debian Squeeze (which uses Gnome 2 by default) rig. However, it doesn't get rid of the ones in the taskbar, for instance. It also doesn't work at all on Gnome 3 (yet?). What would be awesome if you could actually block applications categorically from emitting these pesky useless little things, but it's probably not doable on a window manager or desktop environment level. If all GUI apps were written in a consistent manner, invoking the same code path for any tooltip primitive, you could just hack the part of the GUI libs that exposes the funcionality ... oh well, I don't even think there is any OS out there nowadays which would be that consistent in the way you'd do each and every app (Haiku?). It would be cool even if you could know the scope of the problem. Like if you wanted to get rid of them all, with a typical Gnome system, which libraries would you have to modify? - Frank _______________________________________________ gnome-love mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-love
