I wrote an (unintelligible) blog post about an idea for handling this - having a single button that places a translucent overlay covering the interface, which has helpful text directly on top of each element. Clicking anywhere on the UI would then re-hide the translucent overlay. It didn't get any response, but I still think it's an interesting idea.
