I don't think it's likely that such a function would ever make it into
GTK+.
Even if we finally got a standardized help system on freedesktop.org
(and it
will happen eventually, I promise), launching the help file is in the
same
problem space as opening up a web browser or opening a file with the
right
program.  And I don't think those are things GTK+ is going to address.
