#
# The help widget that provides both "balloon" and "status bar"
# types of help messages.
#
# This is a patched version of Balloon 3.037 - it adds support
# for different orientations of the balloon widget, depending
# on wether there's enough space for it. The little arrow now
# should always point directly to the client.
# Added by Gerhard Petrowitsch (gerhard.petrowitsch@philips.com)
#
# Nov 1, 2003 - Jack Dunnigan
# Added support for more than one screen in single logical
# screen mode (i.e. xinerama, dual monitors)

    # Explanation of following code. [JD]
    # PREMISE: We want to ensure that the balloon is always "on screen".
    # To do this we use calculate the size of the
    # toplevel before it is mapped. Then we adjust it's position with respect to the
    # mouse cursor or widget. Balloons are usually shown below and to the right of the target.
    # From extensive KDE experience using Xinerama, and from using dual monitors on WinXP..
    # the balloon will extend across two monitors in single logical screen mode (SLS).
    # This is an undesirable characteristic indeed. Trying to read a disjointed balloon
    # across monitors is not fun.
    #
    # The intent of the following code is to fix this problem. We do this by avoiding
    # placement of any part of the balloon over,say, the "half screenwidth" mark (for two
    # monitors in SLS mode) or "thirds of screenwidth" mark (for 3 monitors) and so on...
    # i.e. In SLS mode these *WILL BE* separate screens and as such, should be considered hard
    # boundaries to be avoided.
    #
    # The only drawback of this code, is I know of no way to actually determine this on a
    # user by user basis. This means that the developer or administrator will have to know
    # the hardware (monitor) setup for which the application is designed.
    #
    # This code uses Gerhard's GIF images but changes *how* the image gets shown. Instead
    # of creating four separate labels, we configure only ONE label with the proper image.
    # Then using the place geometry manager, this image/label can be "slid" along the
    # appropriate side of the toplevel so that it always points directly at the target widget.
    #
    # Here we go..
