The question is, do we want to include a browser at all? IMO all that GIMP needs is a small plug-in that communicates between the GIMP and a browser of user choice. We'd like to get rid of the hardcoded html help pages in the gimp core. Instead we'd like to use more generic identifiers and have a plug-in do the mapping to HTML files. This could be done by parsing an XML index generated by the gimp-help build system. Salut, Sven
