Sure. Just to try out how easy it was, I tried to add some of the missing help 
for konqueror. Attached are the changes I did so far (very few).
I tried to check the Konqueror manual for the icon descriptions, but I could 
not find it. So there's another task. But I don't feel to qualified for that, 
since English is not my mother-tongue.

As a side note, many menu items for konqueror have an help associated, but it 
is in the form setStatusBarText(). I noticed the menu items were described in 
the status bar by moving over them only now, after all these years!

Maybe some function to add both a What's This and a status bar text whith one 
function could be useful.

Should I file a bug report with the patches as a reminder for kde3.3?
