Hi,

On a fresh install of GuixSD v0.10.0 using XFCE, when you press F1 to
open help for any XFCE application, you get a message like the
following:

"Do you want to read the manual online?"

It would be neat if the manual were installed locally.  Maybe this is
just a simple matter of finding the docs and packaging them up?

In my opinion this bug can be closed due to WONTFIX from
upstream at this URL:

> https://docs.xfce.org/contribute/documentation

quote:

>> Documentation
>> Introduction
>> Since Xfce 4.10 there are no application manuals in the
>> packages. Reason for this change is that hardly any
>> documentation was contributed over the years mainly because
>> people had problems with the various formats (docbook and
>> mallard) or with the complexity of the VCS1). 
>>
>> To make the documentation barrier lower it was decided to start
>> a documentation wiki where contributors, developers and
>> translators can work on good and up-to-date documentation. 
>>
>> From the various dialogs and links in the Xfce applications,
>> we redirect to the sections in this wiki.

So, we won't see any offline Documentation here. I've looked at
3 other OS before reading this, and none of the do anything
different wrt Manual including/excluding.

With this in mind, I'm closing the bug report.
