Hardy 8.04.1 - Gnome.

Normally one of the first things that I do is to delete the 'Help'
applet icon on the top panel. I'm currently redoing a system for someone
totally unfamiliar with Ubuntu and would like to put the help icon (blue
circle with a ?" back on the top panel. Unfortunately I can't figure out
how to do this. Yes, I know that I can create a new user etc., but I'd
really like to know how to do it directly. Any suggestions?

Is that the same thing as "System/Help and Support"? If yes, simply
click/hold/drag it up to the Panel.

*** I don't use Gnome as such (Xubuntu) but IIRC all you needed to do
was to right click on the bar and then install the Help launcher from
the "Bung a New Application Here" menu selection.



See ya

Use "add" to add a launcher, copy what is in the launcher from the menu
to this launcher.

In Xubuntu, it would be
xfbrowser4 /usr/share/xubuntu-docs/about/xubuntu-index.html , I think
in Gnome change xfbrowser4 to yelp and correct the url to what is now
being used.

good luck,
