The description test is easily ignored by anyone who already knows,
there is no "need" to keep reminding going on...
The description text is automatically updated -and- the user is not
bothered by having to ask for help.
Even more importantly, the user isn't annoyed by having to dismiss it
either.
This is a --brilliant-- change over the tool tips.
Contrast this with how many of the other THg dialogs work:
Bring up an annoying "Oh, are you _SURE_ you want to do that?"
confirmation dialog
Bring up an annoying "look what that command just did" post-
command confirmation dialog.
Those annoyances, I keep telling myself, are just because THg is < 1.0
and getting user interface design right is hard... At least, I hope
that is why they are there...
