XFCE is missing documentation |

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

>> 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.
