Perfect, thanks! (Now why couldn't they have called it tooltips like everyone else does?)
You must be pretty naive to think that everyone in the computer industry is going to name things the same way.... which is why I asked you "what makes you think it is going to be called 'tooltips'?"
A little imagination will do you well when working with computers...
Maybe because gconf calls it tooltips? And everywhere else I've seen them also calls them tooltips? I'm sorry, you're right, using standard names so options can be found is a foolish notion. Even programs that use the same toolkit like gtk/gnome should never use the same name for the same thing. All config files should be like sendmail.cf. I've learned the error of my ways. I should just use my imagination to crawl inside the head of every developer in the world and learn what they decided to name. Thank you.
