Ok so ive done up a quick page
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareHandling/DVD_Playback   (mpt you may
want to move it because it does have the double click on the desktop
stuff which isnt related to the software center)
It has no cartoons (because /me doesnt have the drawing talent to do
more than little scratch drawings) but it gets the point across and I
think ive got the use cases fine.
