Is there something to configure? I am not running the new Linux binary of Google Earth, so I probably can't help much. All I can say is the one I"m running doesn't do what you describe. Now, the prior version (that I"m using) is horribly broken in several ways, and google left it in that state for years. however there is a large forum thread (more than one, actually) where one guy gives a TON of helpful information on how to hack at it to make it work, including some tweaks to make it work on Fedora (which also happen to work on centos-7, which I use.)
