With absolutely no offense intended to the original artist, the icon didn't
exactly look like it contained all the knowledge people needed, I presume
because a lifesaver rendered that small isn't especially obvious as "help".
Short of a red cross logo I'm not sure what would either.

I would think a desktop icon would be more useful because it will have a
translated string underneath it saying "Help". I know this may violate the
latest mantras about desktops being reserved for empty space, but the first
time a user logs in they won't have any windows open and it immediately
builds a mental link between that shape and Help if nothing else.

Cheers,
