You use to see icons on the left side as these will indicate the kind of 
element you see (a sum symbol for checksums for example) - what we have 
here is different.

I guess if we have the feature implemented, we'll get other icons for 
other things as well so using the "right side" is a good idea in any 
case ;-)

I had a quick look: For help, the "life-saver" is used in GNOME-like and 
the "questions mark" is used in Windows applications (don't know what 
KDE or others use).

So it might just be ok to use the (i) icon, I've attached two of them 
I've derived from the open-office collection (LGPL'ed or GPL'ed, can't 
remember) - I've made some time before for the capture icons.
