If that's the case, why not have a new key to enable/disable "Help" as a
toplevel menu?

I don't think having 4 entries would be too much for a menubar. In fact,
I think the top panel looks quite empty now, and even more so on
widescreens. Also, "Help" is a toplevel menu in every single menubar on
the system (all applications), except the panel.

This is one of reasons why not to do it. The another is that no important operating system (Windows, Mac OS X) or desktop environment (GNOME, KDE, XFCE) or Linux distribution (Ubuntu, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva) has this "top level menu item" on panel. I think only KDE-based desktops have help icon on main panel.
Help as a top level menu item would be useful for a relative small number people and maybe only for not many times, so why we should discover whole new ways of giving majority (or larga number of) users option to disable this?
