I also found Ayttm to be very confusing when it comes to adding
contacts.  It's all very logical when you think it through, but
thinking it through was non-trivial for me.  I think adding tooltips
as Fatman suggested is a very good idea, but I think it would be
better to also have popup help boxes like MS Windows & KDE provide via
the ? button in the titlebar.  I'm not suggesting you make Ayttm
reliant on a feature provided by some dektop environments, (I couldn't
use it if you did ;), I'd use a tiny button with an icon (say, a white
'i' on a blue circle) next to each item that has an associated help
popup.
