[Bug 977042] New: GUI examples presume GNOME without stating it is GNOME

[Red Hat Bugzilla]

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=977042

Bug ID: 977042
           Summary: GUI examples presume GNOME without stating it is GNOME
           Product: Fedora Documentation
           Version: devel
         Component: system-administrator's-guide
          Severity: unspecified
          Priority: unspecified
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
        QA Contact: [e-mail]
                CC: [e-mail]

The System Administrator's Guide references a number of GUI utilities, many of
which are specific to GNOME. It isn't immediately obvious to the uninitiated
that this is the case, causing non-GNOME users to find fault with the guide.

I suggest an admonition in the preface along the lines of "Some of the
graphical procedures and menu locations are specific to GNOME, but most command
line instructions will be universally applicable"  Comprehensively
differentiating between GNOME procedures, procedures for other DEs, and
universal procedures would probably be prohibitively time consuming.

Thank you very much for reporting this, Pete. You are of course absolutely
right, this should be mentioned in the Preface and potentially in the abstract
as well.
