Yes - they actually work, as opposed to the stuff in gnome-core.

They share some code, and the new ones are based on the old ones, but
there are some additional features in the nautilus ones, and it's not wise
to assume that same name == same program.

I suspect the gnome-core stuff will die once Nautilus' help browser is
finished. We do need to worry about syncing changes from gnome-core's
version to Nautilus - volunteers?
