Chris et al-

I was reading the Gnome Documentation style guide and came across these 
items:

http://developer.gnome.org/documents/style-guide/screenshot-4.html
Which says, " The maximum width of images is 510 pixels. At this width, 
images fit on a printed page."

http://developer.gnome.org/documents/style-guide/screenshot-7.html
Which says "Do not use drop shadow or any other special graphic effects 
on screenshots."

These instructions are quite different from the "Nautilus documentation 
style guide" I have been using in the past.  I actually agree with the 
Gnome styleguide, and is easier to do (no need to make drop shadows).

Anyway, should I change all the screenshots (after the doc release this 
weekend) to match the recomendations of the Gnome Documentation style 
guide?  I don't mind doing it, but I'll only do it if people think it is 
a good idea.
