Comment 22 for bug 860501

I have to say that having a small menu entry on an obscure-looking indicator at the edge of the screen is not easy to discover. Terrible, terrible solution.

I don't see what's so offensive about just having a launcher icon. Perhaps it's because there is a large amount of them already placed but surely all users don't need a spreadsheet generator at the fingertips after first install.

Add some metadata tags to impress (powerpoint) and calc (excel) so that it's easier to discover via the dash and get rid of one of them if need be. Making a user basically use the desktop before any sort of help is ludicrous. There are large, shiny buttons on the left of the screen at startup. Noone's going to look at a stirrup. I think this is something that really needs a little attention at the next user testing session. I have a fair amount of confidence that most subjects would a) not discover it or b) not need it any more if/once they do.
