I too think that 4 menus would be too many. Since speaking with Seb in irc, he has made an extremely valid point: that the icons on the top panel are mainly aimed at programs which get a lot of repeated use. The logical conclusion of that is that Help may not warrant such an icon. The problem raised in the original post is with ensuring that users will know where to find the help. There are a number of other options we have available, I think. * Include a reference to the help in the installation flash animation (hopefully this will be done) * Include a note about where to find the help in the relevant section of the browser start page * Have some kind of first-run tooltip/bubble which tells the user where help is, and then does not appear again. I'm in favour of all of these. Matt -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF
