Bug Description

Binary package hint: yelp

In the Clock Manual, the Preferences page lists preferences that are not available in the actual clock applet, e.g.
the clock applet doesn't offer Unix Time or Internet Time or Use UTC, etc.

Clock 2.25.92

The manual needs to be edited to match the actual clock applet.

that's a gnome-panel issue not yelp. yelp just shows the available manuals, it doesn't write those.

Sure would be nice if the "Report a problem" function on the yelp Help menu
made the distinction between "report a problem with yelp" and
"report a problem with the documentation yelp is showing".

Of course, for the Clock Manual there is a link to "About this Document" that
has a Feedback button that says "to report a bug regarding the Clock Manual",
but that's the very button whose link is broken: ghelp:gnome-feedback
(It's also broken in Ubuntu 8.10 as well as 9.04.) How do you report a problem
with the mechanism that reports problems?

I note that the Feedback button is buried under several screens worth of Legal Notice.
You have to really want to post a documentation bug to go looking for that button, which
might explain why this has been broken for so long.
