I know, don't understand me wrong, you guys did a great job. Why I bring this up
now is because I just noticed it (didn't even know about the faq guide being
included). So you would suggest not filing bugs at this moment for
documentation? Isn't it better to report them now and keep them open till thay
are fixed (regardless wether it is in breezy or one of the next Ubuntu versions)?

Not only gnome apps, all desktop apps.

While that is just a matter of personal taste, it is described in the release
notes as 
"An enhanced tool for easily installing new applications"
It just seems strange to me then to say in the documentation that synaptic is
the easiest way to install software.
