What would make more sense is a standard way of handling these 
'information popups' or 'tooltips'. There's no need to force mouse 
bindings on them. Just need a class that can simply take text, etc and 
turn it into a nice tooltip, and conform to the E theme.
And more importantly, perhaps your focus should not be so narrow onto 
modules.. but rather for all of E (I'd like to see some tooltips in the 
FM at some point), and perhaps even going into EFL, etc so that other 
EFL based apps can also use 'em.
