;; 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)
;;
;; For 19.12 users:
;;    If you are using fvwm, [tv]twm or ol[v]wm, you can also add
;;    the following lines to various configuration file to use
;;    minimal decorations on the balloon help frames.
;;
;;    In .emacs:
;;       (setq balloon-help-frame-name "balloon-help")
;;
;;    For ol[v]wm use this in .Xdefaults:
;;       olvwm.NoDecor: balloon-help
;;         or
;;       olwm.MinimalDecor: balloon-help
;;
;;    For fvvm 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" }
;; 
;; Under 19.13 and later versions the balloon-help frame uses a
;; transient window that is not normally decorated by window
;; managers.  So the window manager directives should not be
;; needed for XEmacs 19.13 and beyond.
