;; Balloon help pops up a small frame to display help text
;; relating to objects that the mouse cursor passes over.
;; 
;; Installation:
;;
;; Byte-compile the file balloon-help.el (with M-x byte-compile-file)
;; and put the .elc file in a directory in your load-path.  Add the
;; following line to your .emacs:
;;
;; (require 'balloon-help)
;; (balloon-help-mode 1)
;;
;; The balloon-help frame is a transient window that is not
;; normally decorated by window managers, so the following
;; window manager directives may not be needed.  But if they
;; are:
;;
;; For ol[v]wm use this in .Xdefaults:
;;    olvwm.NoDecor: balloon-help
;;      or
;;    olwm.MinimalDecor: balloon-help
;;
;; For fvvm version 1 use this in your .fvwmrc:
;;    NoTitle balloon-help
;; or
;;    Style "balloon-help" NoTitle, NoHandles, BorderWidth 0
;;
;; For twm use this in your .twmrc:
;;    NoTitle { "balloon-help" }
;;
