GMix                                    No Help button/menu item
Sound Recoder


Unknowns:
- Applications having more than one xml help file.

  Applications using GNOMEUIINFO_HELP macro has a menu "Help Contents" 
under "help" clicking on which opens the document file for the
application.
 How to link it to multiple files ? 
  
- Enabling "Help on ..", the right click menu item from Panel launchers
  This uses the path given in "Documentation" textbox in Properties 
dialog.This finally calls 
  yelp ghelp:<component>/<component-help-file>.xml
  which is currently causes an assertion failure.

- Enabling help for Applets (being discussed in #73312)

 Would like to hear comments on the above unknowns.

 Regards
 Satyajit
