May I suggest we go the same way as GNU.  They have man pages for all their
programs but they are usually quite short and give the description of the
program and its flags.  They then refer you to, in GNU's case, the info
documents.

Perhaps we could do the same.  Try to make sure their is a simple man
page that refers to the gnome help.  There needs to be a one-liner though
saying how to bring the help up.
