 What we did so far were the tooltips and what remains to be done is the
same for the context help text. The difference is that context help has a
somewhat different appearance and behaviour, as described before, and, main
one, that it's invoked by F1/"?" button unlike the tooltips which just
appear on the mouse hover. From the usage point of view, normal tooltips
are supposed to contain the brief description and the context help ones are
for more detailed help.
