From e5642119ee566520a098027746808dd6b9226d99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Andersen Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 19:37:08 +0000 Subject: Patch from Thomas Cameron: Hello all, This patch adds more "Help" text to the config system. Almost all applets now have a help entry. Also, I cleaned up the spacing of the existing text so that things are consistent. This patch is against this morning's CVS.
