From a fellow Googler: you can hide the text description of a placemark in the Places pane in Google Earth by using the <Snippet>This <Snippet> element allows you to control how many lines of the text in a placemark description box is displayed in the Places pane. The default value is two lines. You can increase this by using this syntax:
<Snippet maxLines="X">
or you can hide all the text by using this syntax:
<Snippet></Snippet>
Note this
<Placemark>

KML is CASE SENSITIVE.
Placemark has a big "P"
Snippet has a big "S"
maxLines has a big "L"
To be clear, you have to add the Snippet element with a text editor, which means you have to export the placemark as .kml, edit it to add the Snippet element, then you can open it again in GE.
It's a good idea to create a template placemark (call it noDescription), and then in GE you can copy/paste it as needed. (there's a few other steps to do this copy/paste easily/effectively).
