Tooltips



I had an idea about the help, though it can have some problems. I would like
to hear your opinions:
All the aplications should have tooltips everywhere, telling you what EACH
thing does (all the widgets: buttons, text, menus, etc). There should be
several tooltips levels, for example novice, advanced, expert. In novice you
are continuosly reading tooltips, in advanced there are less ones, and in
expert there are very few. You can configure the time which the tooltipe
need to appear. And BTW: are the Gtk tooltips only text labels, or are they
containers where you can put text, images, buttons, etc.
This would be really pretty, but there is a big problem: a developer isn't
going to spend very much time writing tooltips. But this could be done by
the documentation team (if Gnome has a documentation team).
