Forget it - I just changed my mind. Only verbosed tooltips. This is 
less work and we don't need a preferences option.

It looks better. We could have a nice pixmap with a question mark. 
Actually, radio button was the wrong expression. I mean a button that 
keeps clicked, like we have in the bullets tab in Document.

I have not a really strong opinion on that. The advantage of toolbar is 
of course that we don't have to add something to the dialogs. It's a 
little bit harder to find, though.

You see, I am in a process of rethinking the whole thing and change my 
arguments every 16 minutes. After all, I can live with both approaches. 
I let the one who implements it decide <friday grin>
