On-screen hints can make a GUI easier to understand and avoid RTMF issues,
but it is a difficult choice as extra text will clutter the screen. How
about tooltips?

Unrelated to these changes (present in 0.8.06), I noticed that the phonebook
editor dialog does not correctly re-size the controls on some of the tabs
(number, url and a few others) when adding items. If you edit a contact,
goto the numbers and press add it will re-size all the numbers fields to
some hard coded value instead of using the available space. Resizing the
dialog will cause the controls to be resized to fit the available space.
