Title:
  "Party mode" ununderstandable and undocumented

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Triaged
Status in Rhythmbox:
  Confirmed
Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rhythmbox

  The manual does not explain what "party mode" is.  The status bar help
  text is not helpful at all; when you hover the cursor over the Party
  Mode menu entry, it laconically says "Change the status of the party
  mode".  (Is that even English?)

  I was scared that it would ruin all my playlists and send my email
  address to the spammers, but I tried it anyway.  It seems to toggle a
  full-screen view.  Then why is it not called "Full Screen"?  Does it
  do something more?

  The top Google hit http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=694932
  seems inconclusive to me.  Does Party mode involve changes in how the
  play queue can be manipulated and/or how the computer can be used?

  Minimal fix:
   * Describe Party Mode in the on-line help

  Bonus points:
   * Improve the Status bar help text
