Have also seen this undocumented 'feature' in commercial apps
so don't feel bad.

I imagine that there is a way of finding out if a balloon is
currentlty displayed, so in your idle loop
you'll have to constantly (well at least if the user switchs
balloon help on) survey the balloon status and send yourself
an update event.

Someone will probably post a more elegant way.

And then someone will post the correct way :-)
