I'd like to know a few things about mouseovers in FC7 (Gnome).
1) How can I turn mouseovers *off*?
2) Can I put a delay on how quickly mouseovers appear?
3) Can I put a limit on how long mouseovers stay up?
4) Can I reposition the mouseover texts to appear anywhere but south of
the mouse pointer? (I like to use the pointer as a place holder
(instead of disturbing the dust on the screen with my finger) and be
able to read the next lines *after* the pointer.
If I can not do anything about 2 thru 4, then I especially want to know
how to do 1.
Please provide an example of what it is you are mousing-over
(mouseover-ing?).

OK, I place my mouse pointer on the System menu option on the Gnome
menu, and up pops the text "Change desktop appearance and behavior, get
help, or log out". In Thunderbird, I mouseover the Contacts button and
up pops the text "Select a recipient from an Address Book". The latter
popup disappears when I begin to type. The former does not. But when
I'm going down a menu list is when it is the most annoying. In that
particular context, I wish the popup would either delay a couple of
seconds, appear above instead of below the pointer, appear to the side,
or not appear at all. I *hate* the popup covering up what I want to see
next, and having to move the pointer to unblock my view.
