Oh, right.  Now I recall later RHL or early FC releases had a "Start Here" 
icon on the desktop.  Opening it opened a window with the system-config-* 
menu entries.  There was a corresponding menu entry that would open the 
same window.

I guess Rahul has explained where it went and what its possible future is.

Apparently, I'm not the only one who misunderstood what you were looking 
for, though.
