This is slightly off topic for this thread but speaking of regression
tests and all, I notice now that the help documentation built by the
ayer script and read by firefox work good now.  Or at least I'm
reading the gnome terminal and nautilus help panels with ease.  Not
sure when it got fixed and I forget the relevant bug numbers, if any.
I'm using svn level 3595 and firefox with an automatic update the
other day; version 3.0b4 gecho 2008022004.  Thanks for your efforts
Joanie and whoever might have had anything to do with firefox changes.

I sure value online help.:)
