Oups, that was a "step into a small pot of grease" (literally "to drop a 
brick").

Your "next message" example could be applied to a browser (or Dolphin) as 
well. Is there really someone who doesn't know why forward is disabled 
immediately after start? 
I still believe that an unclear state is an usability issue.

On the other hand, devs are free to add stuff to infotips. We could separate 
both controls. But I would vote for a restrictive description of function by 
tooltips.
