Here is a further improved and corrected version by Omei Qunhua, removing the confusion between toucher and owner, and simplifying the listen removal.

<lsl> integer listenhandle;

default {

   touch_start(integer num)
   {
       key target = llDetectedKey(0);
       // remove this 'if' and the 'return' to allow anyone to change the hover text
       if (target != llGetOwner() )        
           return;
       // Avoid possible multiple active listeners, if different people click within 30 seconds
       llListenRemove(listenhandle);
       llSetTimerEvent(30.0);
       // Reduce the chance of picking up unrelated chat, by using a large negative channel
       // We could get even more secretive here if desired, but this'll do for now
       listenhandle = llListen(-12345, "", target, "");
       llTextBox( target, "Set Hovertext", -12345 );
   }
   listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
   {
       llSetText(message, <1.0,1.0,1.0>, 1.0);
   }
   timer()
   {
       llListenRemove(listenhandle);
       llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
   }

} </lsl>
