balloon-hellp seems not to react on the modeline. As far as I
understand, it should take the help-echo text (which seems also be
used in the modeline, eg. "button2 toggles the buffers's readonly
status" which is displayed in the echo area when moving the mouse over
the left part of the modeline) and display this as a balloon frame.

Does anybody know how to achieve this?

Another problem: Currently I am only able to make use of this property
for extents containing text. How can I put a help-echo string to a
glyph? (in other words, I want the text to be echoed -- if possible,
by balloon-help -- when moving the mouse over an image.)

Thanks,
