I filed a bug on this without seeing this bug, thanks to Daniel for pointing it out. I'll repeat my comments here.

The new help submenu in the System menu is fantastic. I have an idea to improve it.

The current setup is:

 * System Documentation
 * Online Support (http://help.ubuntu.com)
 * Find Local Help (http://www.ubuntu.com/support/marketplace)

Some comments first - The second link is documentation only. I'd suggest pointing to a link which lists all the free support options (documentation/launchpad tickets/forums/irc). The third link points at commercial help, I'd suggest making a separate entry for this, and pointing the Local Help icon at the list of free local support options. So here is my idea:

 * System Documentation
 * Online Support (http://www.ubuntu.com/support/supportoptions/freesupport)
 * Find Local Help (http://www.ubuntu.com/support/supportoptions/local)
 * Commercial Support (http://www.ubuntu.com/support/marketplace)

I've made a patch for this[1]. It is not completely ready: it needs a different icon added for the Commercial Support link. I don't know how to do that, so I gave it the same icon as for the Online Support.

Hope this helps,
