'Tain't Redhat/fedora's doing.   'tis the various desktop environment
producers.  Gnome. KDE etc.. 
And I agree - the info isn't as apparent as should be.  For example
no man pages for their stuff.  This is the minimum acceptable level for
documentation.  

(having nifty html docs is great, too bad they are not compatible with
"whatis", "apropos" and "man". the main, and easiest tools for getting
info from documentation on a *NIX box. )
