 Replying to [comment:2 godiard]:
 > Before changing this, can we agree in a place for the Help button?
 >
 > Right now, all the activities using it, are putting it aligned to right,
 close to the close button.

 And I'm currently filing tickets against them ;)

 > We should explore different options with a rationale. From my point of
 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.
