>Description:
	The gtk (gimp tool kit) package installs its info docs in PREFIX/info,
	where PREFIX = X11BASE (/usr/X11R6, by default).  However, the gtexinfo
	pkg doesn't set up the info program to search that directory by default.
	While individual users can set INFOPATH in the environment to include
	that path, there is evidently no way to globally configure info to
	search that path without fixing up the configuration and recompiling.
	Very likely this will be a problem with other PREFIX = X11BASE packages
	that install info files as well.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Install the gtk package; type "info gtk" and note that it doesn't
	find the docs; look in /usr/X11R6/info to verify that the docs are
	really installed there.

>Fix:
	Either make packages that install in X11BASE put their info files
	in LOCALBASE or make the gtexinfo package configure info to look
	in X11BASE/info as well as the current standard locations.
