I think such a manual page would make sense, it would be good if we
had one. Actually I just now wrote such a page ;-) I append the result
to this mail.
I would be glad if you would try to get this into one of the gnome
packages for me. Would you? I think "gnome-core" would be the
appropriate package. Maybe some native speaker of English should
proofread this first.
I hope this helps,
Jochen
