Yes, reading the source showed there were several other events that were 
planned, but commented out in 0.9.3.

I feel that "What's This" and tooltips serve two similar but distinct 
purposes.  Tooltips are (in my opinion) for one-liner help, say under 40 to 
50 characters.  "What's This" help is more paragraph-sized (several 
sentences) and then full-out online or dead-tree help is all the gory 
details.
