For the most part, I just find them distracting and annoying. I don't need tooltips on the launchers or the task bar because the icons already tell me the story. Even the pager (I use eight virtual desktops) doesn't need them if you have icons turned on there. So if I trigger them accidentally (e.g. moving the mouse to the bottom of the window to cancel a run in NetBeans), they just get in the way. I do agree with Sudhir's comment about hammer vs scissors, though; I would have liked to keep the tooltips on the clock and weather widgets. I don't generally find that they stay visible for too long, although I have had that experience with the clock (where I had to mouse back over it and then away again to make it disappear). -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "After the vintage season came the aftermath -- and Cenbe." _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
