    Hi, everyone.

    I've recently installed SuSE 9.0 and have an annoying problem with pop-ups
    (previews?) on my desktop and in some browsers.

    Whenever I hover over a desktop icon a large, yellow box appears with a
    description of what's represented by that icon. In some cases I get a preview
    (e.g., if the icon is a link to a .pdf document I get a small graphic of that
    .pdf page). For this to happen the icon cannot be highlighted and nothing can
    be open **and** maximized on the desktop. (Pop-ups will appear if an
    application is open but minimized).

    I also get small pop-up descriptions when I hover over some links (but not all)
    in some websites (but not all). I cannot figure out why this occurs in some but
    not all websites and only with certain links. Typically I see this on list-serv
    sites. When I hover over one of the postings I'll get the first few words of
    that list-serv posting.

    I have tried unchecking every "tool tips" box I have found in the Yast set up.
    To the best of my knowledge I've been through everything in Yast but no luck.
    Where ever that check box I want to find may be hiding.... we'll it's hidden!!
    :o)

    Can anyone help me turn off these annoying pop-up (preview) boxes? Sorry that
    the list won't allow me to attach a screen shot (.png) so you can see exactly
    what I'm trying to describe.

    Many thanks.
    Gil
