I have found two others. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699430 is marked as closed, but the content only appears in the nightly build of the help manual. I presume that it will be transferred to release 2.6 documentation. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633590 seems to be a work in progress that has gotten stalled. That covers an area that is seriously deficient in the documentation and imho it should be revived and given a very high priority.
