Bug Description

When you hover over the "Original Path is Vertical" tick box in the Bend Path live path extension, you get a tooltip that has no text in it. This control needs a tool-tip!

In Gears:
There needs to be a tooltip on Phi - not "???"

In Stitch Subpaths:

Startpoint Variation and Endpoint Variation need tooltips - not just "..."
Also could those captions be "Start point variation" and "End point variation"? - startpoint is not a word
and "Number of paths" not "Nr of paths"

Also could all the LPEs names be in title case?
Bend Path (correct)
Pattern along path -> Pattern Along Path
Gears (correct)
Stitch subpaths -> Stitch Sub-Paths ?

That seems good to me. A couple of other things for other LPEs.

In Gears:
There needs to be a tooltip on Phi - not "???"

Sorry for nit-picking. But as I always say "Attention to detail: it matters"
By the way Johan, this feature is freakin awesome - I love it. Good work!
