Release notes have a launcher - maybe we should remove that

[Marco Scannadinari]

To me a perfect solution would be to place the release notes in 
gnome-control-center's 'Details' section. It seems like an appropriate 
location and is better suited to these sorts of things since it is not 
somewhere like ~/Documents in which they are user-removable.
This approach would of course require downstream patches, however.
