I think the main thing remaining to be finished was the 'point at a widget
to get relevant help' thing. I did not finish it because doing it
correctly required a bunch of lowlevel X thinking that I didn't have the
brains for.

wap-textfu vs gnome-textfu is somebody else's import of my Gtk2-ized
textfu thing. Basically the wap-textfu Gtk2 stuff needs to go into
gnome-textfu while keeping the gnome-textfu features.

I can try to answer any questions people have about hacking on the
unfinished code or making use of the API.
