The Options buffer contains a few entries such as as Syntax
Highlighting with the elisp mode name inside parentheses, which makes
the menu quite wide.  This patch moves the text into balloon help.
Perhaps it should be removed completely, users that are interested in
knowing more about a certain menu item can use C-h k.

Opinions?
