That's a reasonable sol'n (it's not schizo behavior to any individual user); I'd suggest if we do this, that we remove the Media Gallery link from the upper right watch page (since it's just a duplicate link), and provide a tool tip for the logo. Like my solution #4, it likely requires a little more development work (i.e. looking at user's permissions to determine where the link should go); anybody available to do this?
