close to the close button.
And I'm currently filing tickets against them ;)

view, putting it with the other buttons is not good, a special place is
needed. May be at the right in the ActivityButton subtoolbar.
The answer is certainly NOT next to the Stop icon. The Stop icon should be
clear and away from other features. We could decide to standardise, much
like Activity, Edit, View icons, for Help, but folks are trying different
things with the Help button – this might be fine as help needs vary. Some
open a palette with a list of hints (the discussed simple solution as per
the mail list), while others make the Help icon a primary tool button to
trigger some pop-up content (Implode) or change some content of the
interface (Finance). Perhaps something like having the Help icon as the
right most toolbar icon before Stop (not next to it but before the
expanding separator).
We can only have so many special case icons in the toolbar... The Help
icon is at least very clear and distinctive.
