    The active help (tooltip) listener.

    The one and only instance of myself intercepts incoming mouse & keyboard 

    events for the display device, being especially interested in view-enter/

    leave events. When such an event arrives, it asks the corresponding view

    or its model for a help message and displays it via an ActiveHelpView.

    Actually, the view is first asked if it would like to display it itself

    - for example, in some information-view at the bottom of its main window.

    The query for the helpText is repeated along the view's superView chain, 

    until any model or view returns a nonNil answer for the 

    #helpTextFor:<aSubView> at:<position> or #helpTextFor:<aSubView> message.

    All I need for automatic help is some model/view/applicationModel along

    the superview chain of the entered component, which responds to the

    #helpTextFor: message with a non-nil (string-) answer.

    I close down the help view after a while, if a key is pressed or the mouse

    moved to another view.

    Who should provide the helpText:

        the best place is the application object (an instance of ApplicationModel)

        or the topView, if it's a derived class of StandardSystemView.

        This should know about its components and return the string

        when asked via #helpTextFor:<aSubView>.

        See examples in FileBrowser, Launcher etc.

    Be aware, that for applicationModels, there must be a link from the

    topView to this applicationModel 

    (set via: aTopView application:anApplicationModel)

    otherwise, the helpManager has no means of finding the application which

    corresponds to a view.

    Who should display the helpText:

        by default, the helpListener opens a little popup view, which displays the

        returned help message. However, a nice trick which can be used by applications

        is to create an infoLabel as a subview of the topFrame (a la windows)

        and display the text right in the #helpTextFor: method. To cheat the

        help listener, this method should then return nil, to keep it silent.

    Usage:

        If help is to be shown for all views (as enabled by the launchers help menu),

        use 'ActiveHelp start' and 'ActiveHelp stop'.

        Individual apps may enable/disable active help for themself by:

        'ActiveHelp startFor:app' or 'ActiveHelp stopFor:app', passing either

        the topView or the topViews application as argument.

        This is usually done by applications which want to show contextHelp in

        some infoView.

        Late note: thsi is no longer recommended - one such mouse watcher process is

        good enough for all views.

  Active Help for a single view

  or app (whatever the global settings are):

  Can be initiated by an app when its opened.

                                                                        [exBegin]

  Active Help (for all views):

    (make certain that activeHelp is turned on ...

     ... otherwise, you will see nothing)

    the following example uses a Plug as a model replacement.

    In concrete application, you would create a method to implement the helpText

    query message.

                                                                        [exBegin]

        |app top button1 button2|

        app := Plug new.

        app respondTo:#helpTextFor:

                 with:[:view | 

                               view == button1 ifTrue:[

                                 'this is button1'

                               ] ifFalse:[

                                 view == button2 ifTrue:[

                                   'some help for button2'

                                 ] ifFalse:[

                                   nil

                                 ]

                               ]

                      ].

        top := StandardSystemView new.

        top extent:300@100.

        button1 := Button label:'b1' in:top.

        button1 origin:0.0@0.0 corner:0.5@30. 

        button2 := Button label:'b2' in:top.

        button2 origin:0.5@0.0 corner:1.0@30.

        top model:app. '<-- normally this would be: top application:app'.

        top open

                                                                        [exEnd]

    (make certain that activeHelp is turned on ...

     ... otherwise, you will see nothing)

    alternatively, display of the helpMessage in a local, private view:

                                                                        [exBegin]

        |app top button1 button2 infoView|

        app := Plug new.

        app respondTo:#helpTextFor:

                 with:[:view | infoView label:'info ...'.

                               view == button1 ifTrue:[

                                 infoView label:'this is button1'

                               view == button2 ifTrue:[

                                 infoView label:'some help for button2'

                               ].

                               nil

        top := StandardSystemView new.

        top extent:300@100.

        button1 := Button label:'b1' in:top.

        button1 origin:0.0@0.0 corner:0.5@30. 

        button2 := Button label:'b2' in:top.

        button2 origin:0.5@0.0 corner:1.0@30.

        infoView := Label label:'info ...' in:top.

        infoView level:-1; origin:0.0@1.0 corner:1.0@1.0.

        infoView topInset:(infoView preferredExtent y negated - 3);
