Yay, Gnome can replicate the unusable everything-stuffed-into-one-giant-menu
system that Windows is (in)famous for! Blech.

I went out of my way to avoid using MS's "Start" menu - setting up vast
numbers of shortcuts & such; Gnome's I find far, far more usable, precisely
*because* everything isn't jammed into one giant menu...

Back on the 'how do people find the docs' front, we had a help icon on the
default top panel up until Dapper - why was that ever removed?
