On the Gnome desktop, whenever the cursor pauses for more than a second ever a menu item or pushbutton, a small window containing descriptive or help text opens near the cursor. For example, when the cursor is pointing at the "Desktop" menu item in the upper panel of the screen, the text which appears is: "Change desktop appearance and behaviour, get help, or log out."

Is it possible to turn off this "neat-but-flawed" feature? [...]

Gnome configuration through the gnome-control-center is woefully incomplete.

Use the gconf-editor and select "Edit/Find"; search for 'tooltip'; many items will appear.

The entry named "/apps/panel/global/tooltips_enabled" seems to be the ticket for you.
