In conclusion; it depends on the user (type).

But I'm convinced that having it at the root is *not* a good solution.

The question is where to place it. I think one should include more
context into the considiration. What mechanisms (should) ensure users
discover it in the first place?

a. They enjoy spending their evenings browsing the shiny SBC-menu
structure.
b. They know from (viral) marketing etc, that they can get a
service/functionality, e.g. rhapsody, last.fm, facebook, flickr.

I think b. is the starting correct answer. So one can assume that there
is some incentive to find out *HOW*. The UI-design task is then to make
it fairly obvious how to find it. I think Settings is a good candidate.
