F1 is the standard shortcut key to launch help. This
could perhaps be implemented?
Also, you could put a help button in the interface,
perhaps at the bottom of the categories?

There's help on most preferences tools already in the
user guide, and I could add a section on using the new
shell.
However, I would need either a binary to play with or
to ask a whole load of dumb questions (or both) -- eg,
how do you launch the control centre? is the
System->Preferences menu in the panel getting removed?
what's the definitive list of preference tools in
stock gnome?
