gnome-help has not worked for me in two years. perhaps three times in
that time I've checked the packages, tried to re-install, and help just
continues to never work for me in any of the gnome apps. Reading raw xml
files is also not what I call pleasant.

I spent about an hour this morning going through man gnome-config, man
gnome-session, searching through the gnome resedit equivalent (can't
even remember it's name right now).

I realise I did miss 'man gnome-panel'.

Obviously I should have posted in detail all the things I did at the
time. Then perhaps my frustration wouldn't have been called "as much
bullshit".

So thanks for your understanding.
