Hello,

  I noticed that it's not obvious that new user should 'Start Scenario
 Game' and load 'Tutorial' from there. 'Start New Game' may sound like
 more logical place to start and it's even first item in the list.
 
  Attached patch adds 'Beginner Help' -button to gtk client main page
 for first time users. Some native speaker should write better
 helpdata.txt entry for this. If we get good documentation there, I'd
 like to see this even in S2_1.

I'm in favour for yours and suggest the button text as

Start Tutorial Game

Beginners help can't be clear enough.

Christian

However, this button doesn't start a tutorial game - it shows a help
text outlining _how_ to start a tutorial game.

Just a thought: what if you made this a first-run popup instead? A
main menu button with such a limited use seems like a waste of screen
real-estate in a GTK2 main menu that already occupies a lot of
vertical space.

Alternatively, what about simply renaming the Start Scenario Game -
Start Scenario Game/Tutorial?
