The only things that's stopping me applying the patches for g-p-m are:

* We duplicate a lot of logic for just opening a help file, I'm not
happy about all the copy and paste code in every module just to open a
help file. Maybe we can get this split off into another (tiny) helper
library?

* Getting rid of gnome_program_init removes bug-buddy integration. This
is a killer from my point of view. Can we _easily_ use bugbuddy without
gnome_program_init?
