Inventory screen doesn't show descriptions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It's currently not possible to get descriptions of items in the inventory. Need 
a UI change.

As mentioned on Forum, a pop-up is a possibility.

Version 2.4 improves this. Looking for feedback on how people feel about the 
new display.

Perhaps you can post a semi-open beta of 2.4, which would enable us (the 
masses) to give feedback.

Well, what's good is that it explains the abbreviations.
What's not so good is that it does some thing when you click on it.  So if I 
just wanted to know what the abbreviation means, I now removed it from my guy's 
equipment.

All I can think that will work ok is a toggle button similar to the ? button 
some windows applications has, that enables "help" mode, which gives you 
feedback on the what you are hovering (clicking is a better suggestion for 
touch screen) over/on.

Other thing is an option, making you "double" click on each thing you want to 
do.  So that 1st click "select" and second click moves from inventory to 
ground/supply.
