Neither of these are the right solution.  gnome-help-browser code hasn't
been touched in ages, and there are more than a few things that it's
never done.  For our current users, Nautilus is THE way to go,
regardless of what anybody feels. For GNOME 2.0, as I know we discussed
(we being about 3 people, but whatever) in another thread on this list,
it would be nice to move the XML -> HTML conversion out of Nautilus,
into some common module, perhaps libgnome.  (The thread was on the GNOME
2.0 help API)  I don't know if anything has been done about this, but it
will need to be done.  Hmm, I don't know where the API changes are at
either...  Anybody know about those better than myself?
