GNOME Goals proposal: Help ID should match .desktop

[Gabor Karsay]

Dear GNOME devs,

currently yelp is inconsistent in showing icons in the list of help 
documents. This could be resolved by making sure that the help ID is 
matching the .desktop file (many of them renamed to reverse DNS, while 
help ID remained untouched).


This means
* changing HELP_ID in help/Makefile.am to match the .desktop file.
* changing the ID when calling help with gtk_show_uri_on_window() or 
gtk_show_uri(). I don't know if there are other ways of showing help pages.

* changing cross references.

Another approach would be to improve yelp in looking up the icon, that's 
here:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/yelp/tree/libyelp/yelp-help-list.c#n384

Btw, the GNOME Goals wiki page recommends the gnome-love mailing list 
for this, but it doesn't exist ...
