Public bug reported:

Click on "Services" Icon to open the services editor.

After entering root password, a window opens displaying a few active
services in a list box. There is a check box beside each service and
presumabely one can disable an active service, but, there is no way to
see or activate inactive services (as in say SysV Init Editor in other
distros).

Clicking the help button, displays a help window and instructions for (what appears to be) a different application. The images in the help file show a window with 
- run level selector
-list box displaying all services, whether active or not and a check box to select.

As the actual application differs from the help file, I suspect someone
has "dumbed down" the application to the point that it is not usable,
rather than that the menu link is broken.

In any case, it needs to be fixed.
