I've just installed the 2.2.5 beta (for which thanks!)
On the prefpane, it says: Pressing cmd + alt keys together will display a quick Get Info help tag for the selected menu item.
Pressing those keys doesn't seem to do anything for me that's different from just highlighting the item with the mouse in the menu. I'm looking at the Desktop folder, and I'm in 10.6.2, if that's relevant. What is the quick Get Info help tag supposed to show?

Ah yes, I still haven't ported that code from Carbon to Cocoa.
If you click in an unused part of the menubar, FP will pop down a menu, and pressing cmd + option on that will show you what's meant to happen. (Menubar popup stuff is handled by the daemon which is still 32-bit.)
I'm getting to it, honest

Hey, I'm not joggling your elbow, I was just puzzled. Apropos, clicking on the menubar doesn't do anything either

Mmm... processed meat.

So clicking an unused (ie, blank) portion of the menubar isn't working for you? Is it enabled in the FinderPop PrefPane's "Options" tab?
How about clicking at the very top left (0, 0) of your screen? Does FinderPop pop up a menu then?

Ah, for some reason, clicking in the unused menubar space now works (as does the cmd-alt in the resulting menus), so that's an improvement.
Clicking at 0,0 jumps the focus onto the next running app (i.e. the next one along in the cmd-tab list) but it doesn't open any menus.

Hmm, you don't have any other UI hacks installed, do you?
Clicking at (0, 0) and having it jump to the next app is definitely not standard behaviour...

Only Default Folder - I do also have the WindowShade beta, but even with Application Enhancer disabled, I get nothing at 0,0.

Do you have multiple screens or something? If so, how are they organised? I've tried FP here on different systems (10.4 PPC, 10.5 PPC, 10.5 Intel and 10.6 Intel) and on all of them, clicking the top left corner of the (admittedly single) screen pops up the FP menu.
When FP is turned off, the Apple menu opens.
So I'm at a bit of a loss here...

Just the one screen.
FWIW, Must be a ctrl-click doesn't work either (I assume form the font size and position of this that it's meant to work only with the top-left corner thing, rather than with the menubar click too).
Mystery. Let's see what happens in future updates.

No, "must be a control-click" works for the click-in-unused-menubar bit, not the topleft corner.
As you say, a mystery.
It'd be nice to get to the bottom of it, though.

Well... it don't
- I get the FP menu by clicking on the menubar, whether it's click or ctrl-click - and whether that checkbox is checked or not.It just occurs to me, I'm wondering if there's some conflict with MAgicDriver, the app that's enhancing my Magic Mouse?

There's an easy way to find out - disable MagicDriver and see what happens...
