I was just trying to keep the text brief, but apparently it seems to be 
confusing rather than helpful.  I will certainly try to find a better way of 
saying it.  I am also planning to add a help button in case people want more 
detailed infomation.

That was carried over from Civ2, but can be changed, no problem.

Raimer has already suggested that since he is adding a new button too.  I 
will leave it to him to find a better arrangement.  :-)

That would certainly be ideal, although I don't know enough GTK+ to 
implement it.

No, it is *not* a bug.  As in Civ2, Michelangelo's Chapel is shown in the 
Buildings row, not as a Wonder.

Then some button shuffling may be needed there too.  I feel that two rows of 
buttons can be somewhat awkward to use, but it seems to be necessary.  
Anyway, I will add it.
