They constantly get in the way of what I'm reading or trying to read. They are distracting. And most of the time, there is no way to disable them. Sometimes they don't even get out of the way and then overlap other windowed applications when switching focus. Or, like the following example, pop up information onto the screen that is exactly what I have already read and then block the next link down. http://bevilacqua.us/ljpics/HateToolTips.jpg Of course, my favorite is still the Tool Tips that tell you the X button at the top right closes a windowed application. I think even single-celled life on the bottom of the ocean knows this by now. Redundant? Yes. Useless? Most of the time. Annoying? Terribly. TGF Window Managers that don't incorporate this feature and applications that let you disable them.
