Possible to suppress one specific annoying tooltip in the Xfce GUI?

Every day, several times, a tooltip saying "Minimise all open windows and show the desktop" pops up in the lower-right corner, covering important screen real estate for me.

This happens because my mouse cursor naturally ends up in the bottom-right corner, over the "Show Desktop" button which I've added there because it's a crucial component of a desktop environment.

This is very annoying, so I'm trying to get rid of it. Nothing has worked so far. The properties for the "Show Desktop" button have no option to turn this tooltip off. I also tried various ways to turn off tooltips in general which did not work either, but I don't really want that as some others are useful/wanted.

How can I disable/suppress only this specific tooltip?
