Hi all,

Each webyast module defines several options for the control panel (like title,
icon...). There is also a tag with description, but it has not been used at all.

So have enabled it in my branch tmp/lslezak/after_1.1 as a tooltip (implemented 
by
title attribute). So the description is displayed after a while when you place
the cursor on an icon.


However, the problem is that the descriptions are inconsistent or they do not 
provide
any useful value in some cases.

Bad examples:

"System Services" -> "Manage the LSB init scripts" (too technical, our target 
users
may not even know what LSB init script is)
"Firewall" -> "Firewall settings" (useless, of course it sets the firewall, but 
the
user may not know what does it mean...)

Good examples (IMO):
"Roles" -> "Set permissions in roles and assign users to roles"
"Time" -> "Set the clock"

The others are something between, but they are definitely inconsistent in style
and wording.

This is just one more point in WebYaST usability/design problems...
