Eric Andersen e5642119ee 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.
