Makes sense to me. My patch was hacked without much knowledge of the
underlying monodoc structure.

I'll try to track this down further since it sounds like a possible
issue with the provider no returning the node's html.

	AFAIK, the gnome-stock icons are deprecated. I believe we can safely
change that to gtk-stock-about without adding any regression problems.

there's even an old patch that I submitted in there. 


Overall everything sounds good Mario, I hope the patch makes into the
