Do we need an upgrade of gnome-user-docs to 2.4.0?

The update to 2.4.2-1 at first sight seems to solve the issues for which patches are attached here, and fix the drawer and auto hide issues in general. Not sure about the UTF-8. Didn't see any warnings. Need confirmation.
After the update the panel doesn't auto hide on showing help. Just moving over the panel makes it auto hide after all. Minor.

TODO

Spanish UTF-8 needs to be propagated to 2.5.3
