Because of a hardware failure, I've had to reinstall edgy. So on a
fresh install, all I get when I search for 'f-spot' in yelp is the man
page which only talks about the switches. F-spot itself has no help
menu item. I have version 0.2.1.

Good point about the popularity of the all-in-one
fax-printer-scanners. I think of mine as almost a camera, as a way to
capture images. Maybe there could be a <xref> linking the printing and
the photo help?
