Thanks to syngin's help on IRC last night I have made a PDF version of
the User's Guide.  It has all the pictures in color and looks very
nice.  If anyone wants to see the PDF file to inspect it and make sure I
didn't mess anything up, yoo can obtain it through CVS at
gnome-docu/gdp/contrib/user_guide/GNOMEUG.pdf

If you wish to take a look at the Sun specific GNOME User's Guide it is
also there in CVS.
