[Inx] Menu Suggestions

Hi all,

Some suggestions for the menus ("screenshots" below):

- Small changes to ordering.
- Removed " I suggest that you try things in this order..." to make room.
- Move "Time and Clock Settings" to the Preferences... menu
- Separate Fun & Games menu (accessible from main menu).
- Change descriptions to match changes.

Plus some changes to the action keys:

- q quits to the command prompt (matches other programs, eg. mutt)
- x quits and shuts down  (ie. swapped with q)
- c to change colours (f is now for Fun & Games)

No emotional attachment here.  Please cherrypick or ignore :-) .

Cheers, Dave.
