Re: Gtk patch version 3, part 1

People seem to be arguing about a question that isn't real.

When information is directly relevant to the topic, a cross reference
to another manual (or even another section) is inconvenient for the
user.  It is much better to duplicate a small amount of information
than to ask the user to find it elsewhere.

The Emacs Manual should tell people enough information that they can
customize Emacs.
