[Bf-funboard] Panel Behaviour improvements + tooltips for hidden panel behaviour

[Bol Bib]

@Brecht: thank you for your answer. Now I can stop looking for it in python.


@Knapp: hahah, such passion. I might just give it a go then,but I will first finish my python training course (some site I learn from) 
I just read everywhere that python is much easier to get into,and C is this ancient beast that is much harder to tame.

I do also read that Python is a great way to branch out with to other languages so it's not all lost,I guess.

Blender is C and C++ as well,I read somewhere... Is learning C++ good enough?
Will that get me where I want? (I mostly want to fiddle with UI behaviour and items,to improve the user experience in small ways)

It will take a good while though... (i'm not exactly programmer material)
