[TxMt] 2 suggestions: tool-tip on the status bar, include automation menu in right-click

[Timothy Bates]

It would be nice if there were tool-tips when mousing over the status bar
items: that would help users remember and understand the items there.

It would also be very handy if the automation menu (the sprocket in a
circle) was provided when right-clicking.

I would find it more intuitive to be in the text, and right-click, than to
move the mouse down to the (hard to hit) status bar to select automation
actions.
