Small patch for gdp-handbook



While reading the gdp-handbook I found a few what I belive to be
errors. 

Basically the fixes are as follows:

* s/This/Those/
* the source code for ulink did not match what it was supposed to
  produce.
* s/GNOME Workshop/GNOME Office
* fix a problem with punctiation

Of course there are probably more problems especially when it talks
about GNOME 2.0. I believe some of those things have been adressed
with GNOME 1.4. But I'm not sure enough to create a patch :-(.

Also I noticed that there were some spelling problems in
gnome-app-template.sgml.cdata. 

Attached are two patches:
