For clarity: Yes, this is about statusbar messages.

Which reminds me of adding a note: When I started using Inkscape, it took quite some \
time before I noticed the hints in the statusbar, as I rarely look at statusbars when \
I work on the image.

For unexperienced users, it might be a good idea to make these hints draw a bit more \
attention somehow. Maybe the message could briefly show in a corner of the  document \
area whenever the user switches tools (OSD-like). Just briefly, and fade away. Of \
course the OSD should have a 'Shut Up!' button for powerusers, which make the OSD \
messages retreat back into the statusbar. ____________________________________
