Yep, I got the Makefile/configure.in stuff to make them building correctly. The problem is that gconf-editor is not linked to gnome libraries (just now, it's a gtk application, nor a gnome). So adding gnome_show_help stuff would need lot of code duplication (functions to get languages, etc...) or an horrible hack. As gconf-editor is going to move to a GNOME application during 2.7 I don't know it we should wait until 2.7.X releases or if docs are so important and spend/waste time with code duplication on 2.5.X releases. Anders?
Created attachment 25449 [details] [review] Proposed patch
Thanks for the PATCH! But I thinks this has to wait until 2.7, because we are on hard code freeze now, and adding such a big dependencie is a big change. I'm going to open a metabug about porting gconf-edtitor to gnome libs, and I'll mark this and others as depends on it.
Commited. Thanks again!
