Of course. but if the titles are too long it won't look good (and this
is obviously not a Yelp-only problem). Yes, the Yelp window is smaller
than the default size of a Galeon/Mozilla window, so you don't have as
much space as you do there.

But really, there haven't been _ONE_ solution (except the bogus one
about removing GNOME and Manual from the string) about how this can be
handled by the browser rather than the document author/OMF author.
