Hi,

(First the decision to drop the icon has been made for the
dapper-desktop-plan specification) 

As discussed on IRC I don't think the panel icon is optimal:
- panel launchers are supposed to be for applications you want to use
regularly  (browser, mailer), which is not really the case of that one.
It would use useful when you start but stay in the way then
- it's just a small icon on a panel

I'm not for abusing notify bubble, but maybe we could have one on the
first startup to indicate that the applications menu is where to go to
run some programs and that the system menu is the place to go to get the
help stuff?

An another option would be a first startup note or something like that


Cheers,
