continuing to explore 4.2 in the interest of QA,
i tried 'help' in the desktop menu.
when nothing happened, i tried the command 'xfhelp4' from a terminal & got :
  purslow: desktop> xfhelp4
    No running windows found
    Error: No running window found.
this is the result of its trying to start Mozilla (or Firefox):
when i set  BROWSER=galeon  (or 'lynx' or 'konqueror') help starts correctly.
the quick fix for me is to hack the Xfhelp4 script
to put  1  of the  3  browers which work at the start of the list.
Mozilla & Firefox are both installed & start from a launcher.
this may trap a more naive user: doesn't it need correction ?
