Maybe I'm weird, but I think the stock target for a 'desktop' livecd
probably isn't ever invoking qemu from the command line. The idea
is that help & docs for the things we'd ship on a desktop should
be part & parcel of the apps themselves, not random things hidden
away in /usr/share/doc that someone needs to know to look for.
