I know this has been happening for just about everybody, and I'm not
sure what causes it.  In any case, if you're on linux, I would suggest
just installing the gtkmm / glibmm -doc packages for your
distribution.  This will install all of the documentation for you
under /usr/share/doc/.  If you're not on linux, you can always just
grab the source tarballs for gtkmm and glibmm.  These will have all of
the documentation in them as well.
