The worst offenders at the moment are the pop ups over the workspaces. At the very least, with Compiz active, the pop up will say “Current Workspace: Desk 1”. Every workspace has incessant reminders to “Click to start dragging xxx”. I have known that for a few years now. This situation is magnified when using Compiz. The attachment shows how the pop up displays the entire title of a web page from Firefox. This pop up covers almost ¼ of the whole desktop every time the mouse passes over the workspaces. The second screen shot shows what happens when the mouse goes over the Firefox task bar when in the same workspace.
Admittedly, the issues is not as bad if not running Compiz because the pop up is somewhat truncated, but it is still an issue. @aoirthoir: The gtkrc files go with the themes. You will find the themes in either ~/.themes/ or /usr/share/themes in the case of system-wide default themes. There is no ~/.themes/ on my system. /usr/share/themes contains 118 folders. Controls and boarders and complete themes all have a folder, only icons get their own place /usr/share/icons edit ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and add the line gtk-enable-tooltips = 0 Rummaging through 118 folders to permanently change this setting is NOT a valid fix for this problem ** Attachment added: "Screenshot.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35955744/Screenshot.png -- Can't disable tooltips https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/31102 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
