These suggestions, as the other ones being proposed in this thread, are
all of good value and worth considering. I personally think that a quick
mention of the button existence during the installation/upgrade phase
and some glowing or pop-up during the first couple of seconds of a user
session should be enough.

But then again, I wonder why the button moved to the launcher. If we add
some hints to notify the user of the button existence, then why not put
it back to the top panel, where it's more easily reachable? :-)

Ciao,
