Disable mouseover / hover explanation in linux

Is it possible to turn off the mouseover button explanations or hover tooltips? There are posts on disabling either the function syntax tooltips at the command line or disabling the data tips in plots. I have not been able to find any information on disabling these other types of tips (see PNGs). I am running matlab on a linux machine.

Hi Kyle,

To turn off the tooltips in MATLAB, please enter the following command into the MATLAB Command Window:

javax.swing.ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().setEnabled(false)

To turn the tooltips back on, please enter the following command into the MATLAB Command Window:

javax.swing.ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().setEnabled(true)
