this is a pretty minor bug.  the xfce-help dialog ends up showing, then
resizing itself.  the gnome hig has a section that discourages showing
windows, then resizing [1], so i think this behavior should be fixed.

the following patch to xfce4-help/info.c is a solution to the problem that
sizes the help window to the maximum horizontal width that fits all of 
the text boxes (590 pixels) directly rather than using the automatic resize.
