Hi Geoffery,
The bitmap program is an X11 app... it comes with all the x11 apps like
xload (the monitor in the panel) xcalc xedit (the text editor), xman
(the manual browser), etc..
I just added a desktop file for it.
It only makes black and white xbm type bitmaps.  It was already on the
system so I just made a desktop file for it...  I don't think we are
going to try to include a better graphics drawing program at this point...
And install manager would be nice, have Paul come up with a nice
lightweight Software Center written in Python :)

The documentation error is fairly simple....  I point it to the wrong
place on accident.  It was a typoo.  It should point to /usr/share/doc
instead I added an 's'  It is working the the latest Daily Build
though.  I also need to update it with the current version Paul has. 
Ali pointed this out in the Live CD version... but thank you for
reminding me :) It is using the old menu which tries to use xdpf...  so
I will definitely update it, since xpdf is not installed :)
