That's because it's not called. The code you see in balloon-x.c is
experimental and should IMHO be removed. Under X, balloon helps are
created as tiny frames, which is somewhat bulky and very slow.
This is why I made balloon-x.c...it is only experimental because it's
not being used. The balloon_help.c code itself is not experimental
and works fine.
