That's fine -- I just want to weigh in as considering the functionality
_really valuable to our users_ as input to designers weighing the options.

Oh, one we'd package up and install by default, I mean.
On the user menu in the upper-right, there are currently three icons at
the bottom with a LOT of whitespace between them, they are:
* Settings: The Screwdriver and Gear
* Lock the screen: A padlock
* Shutdown/Reboot: The universal power logo
What if we were to add a new icon into that available space? I'm
thinking maybe a profile or a human with a thought bubble and a "?" in
it. That could indicate "help" or "I have a question that needs
answering."
