Yes, they become a nuisance after a while, so go to Edit->Change Preferences->Command Behavior and set the tooltip timeout to a very very large value so that they will not appear. Or you could try the value -1 which will switch to the default Gtk tooltips which I found unusable in the version of Gtk which I tested against, but which may have been fixed in your version.
