Hi,

Thanks for the comments, and for taking the time to review.

In the purely technical sense, it's not. I've tested it, and it displays
completely at least in the Qt GUI.

As for readability, the lack of newlines in tooltips may make it hard to
read.

I'd like to make the text shorter, but the problem is that I don't see
how to explain it any more briefly. I can (will) make one more pass
attempting that. We'll see if having not looked at it for a few days
helps :)

I'd like to keep a fairly complete (but short!) description in the
longtext, because any new strings in the GUI will probably get
localized, while any separate documentation probably won't. Also, this
way it's less likely to go out of date with the code.

Thanks, good point. Will fix.

I'll wait for Laurent's comments, and then make the remaining fixes for
this in one go.
