title: Python & QT: creating a rollover help area
body: <p>I've got a UI that has gotten complex enough that the user can use a little help. I tried tooltips, but I don't like how they create UX distractions. What I'd like is to have an area where help always appears, with text that changes depending on where you hover the mouse.</p>
  
  <p>What's the most efficent way of handling this? Subclassing tooltips? I thought about eventFilter, but I'm using it already to capture keypresses for QTextEdit boxes, and I'm not sure how I can make it work for every object anyway. I'm into new territory for me, so any help would be really appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
