I think it's a good idea having a help button by default.

[Gimp-developer] adding a help button to GimpDialog
Hi, I wonder if we should do the following simple change to GimpDialog: <#part type="text/plain" filename="/home/neo/gnomecvs/gimp/help-button.diff" disposition=inline> <#/part> What this patch does is, it automatically adds a help button for each GimpDialog that is created with a help_func. Such a button makes it lot more obvious that GIMP has a help system. The gimp-help-2 project has achieved a lot during the last months and it looks like we will be able to ship GIMP 2.2 with a reasonable amount of help content. It would thus make sense to announce the availability of help more prominently. This is what this patch does. There are some drawbacks also. In some dialogs, mainly when there are already a number of buttons in the action area, the help button causes the dialog to become wider and it causes the action area to look crowded. This is for example the case for the File->New dialog. Another drawback is that some plug-ins may already add a help button. The patch attempts to suppress this button by skipping buttons that have GTK_RESPONSE_HELP as their response_id. This will not work reliably and perhaps it is even a bad idea to do such a thing. Plug-in developers will have a hard time to figure out why the help button they added behaves differently with GIMP 2.2. We can of course add a gimprc option for the Help button but my question is if it is a good idea to add such a button per default.
