Re: How is Help browser started?

Hi Ingo,

This looks OK. At least it will work on my F16 system. You might as
well commit it since the only way to test it for a variety of distros
is to see if it works for said variety of distros :-) If it works for
you then its almost certainly an improvement!

Cheers

Martin
