I think WhatThis isn't as usable as it could be: you need two clicks just 
to notice that there's no help for that specific button. Of course not 
every button needs a help, this makes it more complicated. Wouldn't a 
"hyperlink approach" be more reasonable? By this i mean: next to each 
button, input field etc that has a help text there's a small blue "?" that 
can be clicked. Advantages: it's easy to recognize that there *is* help, 
and it requires only one click.

Also, it would be cool if the documentation could somehow "include" these 
help texts. Duplication could thus be avoided.

 Daniel
