Please remember that GIMP is not a GNOME application. Also I don't know
any GNOME application that would have context-sensitive help similar to
what GIMP provides.

We considered to allow GNOME users to use yelp as the help browser for
GIMP, but last time I checked yelp did not provide the features we need
(namely telling a running instance of the help browser to jump to a
certain topic).
