[Gimp-user] Online documentation.

[john Culleton <John wexfordpress com>]

Using 2.6.11 on a Slackware 13.37 system. I have documentation
located in /usr/doc/gimp-2.6.11. but when I attempt to access the
Gimp manual I get this message:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Could not open 'http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-help.xml' for reading: Operation not supported

Perhaps you are missing GIO backends and need to install GVFS?
-------------------------------------------------------------

ON further investigation these seem to be Gnome packages. Not
everyone uses Gnome. So this seems to be an unnecessary
dependency. I run KDE and XFCE, not Gnome. And my experience is
that if I download one package it will require something else
etc. 

The ftp versions seem to be related to 2.6.0, not 2.6.11

Is there a way to install or access current documentation without
getting involved with loading a bunch of Gnome packages?
