Subject: [geda-user] Adding tooltips to the interface of PCB?

Hey, does anyone know how to modify the build system for PCB's
automatically generated menus in order to include a string to set a
tooltip attribute from the resource files. Adding a description
including the keyboard shortcuts used by each tool would go a long way
towards making PCB's interface a bit more friendly and learn-able for
novice users. For instance the thermal tool uses shift-click to change
the type, thats not necessarily intuitive to someone unfamiliar with
the program. Tooltips are a rather handy way to give the user those
hints.

Thanks,
Jason White
