On that subject, it does seem to have a valid docbook - so what do I need to
read docbooks?

(a) gmane doesn't appear to pass attachments.
(b) No it doesn't. KDE may provide one, but it isn't part of the Ubuntu

bonobo and gnomeui and gconf - something like an extra 40MB of stuff - and
it's never likely to interface to kwallet.
