If you have any work to do which can be separated from the rest, does not block your further work etc. I happily offer my help in implementing it (and testing it of course). One thing was on my mind when I thought about tooltips: IIRC you currently need to place an EventBox around some widgets (X-window-less IIRC) to get a tooltip, perhaps this can be avoided in a redesign (perhaps mouse movement bandwidth outweights the benefits, I don't know). EventBoxes tend to hide my nice background graphics rather badly, so I have to chose between background graphics and tooltips :-(. Christof
