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.
