I think tooltips are a very good source of information on the
question: Why is this item disabled?

Because even when an item is disabled people tend to click on it. And
when they do they will move the cursor to it.

If I look at most of the printer setup dialogs under Windows there are
small questionmarks appearing near all disabled items, and when you
hoover or click them there is a tooltip telling why the item is
disabled.
