Do not exclude Documentation from applications

See patch.
Created attachment 164366 [details] [review] Do not exclude Documentation from applications There is currently no way of launching the desktop-wide help other then running yelp explicitly from the run dialog or a terminal. It should instead be included with the rest of applications.

Lets see what the designers think.

I wasn't that sure myself (I was thinking more of a search provider for help), here's some snippets from the irc conversation: <mccann> oh the Help app? <fmuellner> yup <mccann> should probably be a Help app if there isn't already but maybe we could have a search provider for help too I guess <fmuellner> mccann: not sure why, but it doesn't appear in the application menu - maybe it just doesn't install a desktop file, not sure hmm, there is a desktop file but apparently we filter it out somewhere [...] <mccann> fmuellner: what was the bug # you filed? <fmuellner> mccann: bug 622458 <fmuellner> mccann: it only addresses the problem of yelp being excluded from the applications, not the idea of adding a search provider for it <mccann> right <fmuellner> mccann: to come up with a working patch for the latter would require some more time :) <mccann> yeah I don't think it is necessary either at this point
Review of attachment 164366 [details] [review]: OK, given that Jon is fine with the change go ahead and push (looks fine to me).
