[Etoys] Getting QuickGuides into your image

[Karl]

I really like the tutorials. You cover a lot of topics that are 
essential to etoys. Keep them comming :-)

I have a suggestion: change the 'Jump to...' to look like other menu 
buttons and add a home button (could look like a little house) to get to 
the index.
