Hi All,
I'm trying to enable Help on all applications/applets for Gnome2.

as listed at the end.

GnomeAbout No Help button/meni item
Gnome-CD No Help button/menu item

Sound Recoder
Unknowns:
- Applications having more than one xml help file.
Applications using GNOMEUIINFO_HELP macro has a menu "Help Contents"
under "help" clicking on which opens the document file for the
application.
How to link it to multiple files ?
- Enabling "Help on ..", the right click menu item from Panel launchers
This uses the path given in "Documentation" textbox in Properties
dialog.This finally calls
yelp ghelp:<component>/<component-help-file>.xml
which is currently causes an assertion failure.
- Enabling help for Applets (being discussed in #73312)
Would like to hear comments on the above unknowns.
Regards
Satyajit
