No, please, I don't agree here. Just making the "start" button bigger won't 
help at all IMHO. Normal users are not blind and if they are used to windows 
they *will* know where to look for the start button. If someone won't find 
the button like it is now he will perhaps find it if it is two times that big 
but not because of intuition but "Hey, what's this fat thing doing there". 
This does not solve the problem but works around it. And making it bigger 
will reduce the space of the anyways always too small kicker! And think about 
it, you won't be a complete newbie for too long ;)

Well, just my $0.01...

Ciao,

PS: we could make it configureable *SCNR* :-)
