I didn't know that.  Will both be packaged for Debian, or
just one of the two?  Does upstream plan to support both for
a while?  (I emailed Bastian last week, and he's interested
in including a man page with future releases.)

You're right.  I didn't know about gtk-options(7) but
refering to it in SEE ALSO is better than relisting all the
options.

Jochen Voss was working on a gnome-options(7) man page.  I
just pinged him about that.  We should get that written and
into one of the gnome packages, then cite it in SEE ALSO.
