 Opening the help contents doesn't provide much in the way of useful
 information for a normal user. On my Ubuntu system it's a page about
 compiling QGIS, on my Trunk build it's the changelog which is also
 accessible in the About dialog. Can someone check this on recent builds of
 Mac/Windows?

 My suggestion would be to include the latest user manual in html form
 generated from the latex source in a Qt Web View. Or to include the PDF
 version in the distribution and open it on request. New users really need
 the basic what are each of these buttons and how do I install/use plugins
 in the built in help.
