 On smaller screens (ie. smartphones in any orientation, and tablets in
 portrait) some of the admin pointers are a hindrance more than a help.

 Here's my quick review of our current admin pointers when viewed on a
 Nexus 4 Android phone:

  * Admin Toolbar: Acceptable. Nicely centred.
  * New Media Manager: Ok but not great. Passable I suppose.
  * Compare Revisions: Broken. The arrow on the pointer is missing and
 covers up the item it's pointing at.
  * Theme Customizer: N/A due to WIP changes to the Themes screen.

 Additionally, on all admin pointers the 'Dismiss' link is a little small.
 We should bump up its font size a bit in narrower media queries.

 Should we not show admin pointers for screen sizes below a certain size?

 ----

 Note: To get admin pointers to show up you'll need to remove the
 `dismissed_wp_pointers` user meta field for your user and roll back the
 `initial_db_version` site option (I just set mine to `1`).
