Enhancement: Include Help in program

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I used Ubuntu add/Remove to download this program and I was forced to use
Google to find the help to find this very useful info.  I really think that
you need to add a Help icon / menu item and include this info, because
newbies have no clue how to use it and I personally couldn't figure out how
to change links until I read this info. It would also be a great idea to
include a link to your site, so that people can get further help and
contribute to the program. I am still finding my way around the program,
but as a starting point I'd suggest the following:

1. Getting Started

In a new map, single click somewhere to create a new "thought". This is
your root. Add your main thought to this. Click somewhere else will create
a new thought, linked to the first. To move thoughts around, single-click
and drag. To edit a current thought, double click on it (text thoughts only).

Drawing and Image thoughts can be resized using their corners / sides.

Links between thoughts can be created, strengthened and weakened. To create
a new link, in edit mode, click and drag from the "parent" thought to the
"child" thought while holding down the ctrl key. Doing this with a link
already in place will strengthen the link by 1 and dragging from child to
parent will weaken the link by 1. If the link goes to 0 strength (it starts
at 2), the link is deleted. Links can also be created / deleted by
selecting both thoughts (hold down the shift key to select > 1 thought) and
choosing "Edit->(Un)Link Thoughts" from the menu (shortcut: Ctrl-L).

2. Keyboard Shortcuts

(I'm afraid I don't know them all yet)

3. Where files are stored

Loading and saving of maps is in the tomboy style - they are automatically
saved, you shouldn't have to worry about them. For reference anyway, the
maps are saved in ~/.gnome2/labyrinth/.map

4. Further information

Further information can be found at:

(If this is the official home)

Hello and thanks for your description. I already committed some Docbook XML 
which can
be used by GNOMEs yelp. However it is neither really helpful nor translated in 
any
language. But with the next release it should be ironed out.

Great... Its a lovely App and once you've figured out the Ctrl button really 
useful,
because you can easily make really attractive Mind Maps.
