gDesklets has no user documentation, though it does have a man page. 
This is a bit of a special case, as one would really want documentation
for each particular desklet one is running.  (However, there isn't any
documentation for the default desklets.)  If this were included, we
would probably want to document its functionality in the User Guide. 
Then we would have individual documentation for each desktop.  This is
what we do for the panel and panel applets.
