    Thank you, I didn't know about Lintian, it is good to know!

    Of course I would like to help within my capabilities, I don't know
much about gdm though. Also I am a little bit confused about documentation.
The first thing I did was to google for gdmthemetester and came up with 
an old solaris man page:
 
http://manpages.unixforum.co.uk/man-pages/unix/solaris-10-11_06/1/gdmthemetester-man-page.html 

    Then I thought, it is weird that they don't have a man page upstream? so 
I downloaded the source code and found that there is a file gdm.xml which 
contains documentation of gdmthemetester, of course this is the stuff that shows 
up using gnome-help, in fact launching gnome-help and searching for gdmthemetester 
shows that info.  So.... I send you a patch of what? What's best to do in order
for the gnome help not to get easily out of synch with the man pages? Maybe a
man page refering to gnome help?

cheers,
