So are you saying that the reason we don't ship the help for Gimp is that
it's too big to fit on the CDs?

It's unfortunate to ship such a complex application without its
documentation. Perhaps we should change Gimp to link to the online version
of the docs if the local copy is not available?

I just tried it, and it does seem to have the capability to fall back, but
displays a confusing dialog first.
