I even don't know why anyone uses GNOME or KDE. ;-)

I couldn't find anything like this the last time I tried.  What about
the following:

(defun rs-info-reload ()
  "Reload current info node."
  (interactive)
  (let ((file Info-current-file)
	(node Info-current-node)
	(point (point)))
    (kill-buffer "*info*")
    (Info-find-node file node)
    (goto-char point)))
(define-key Info-mode-map [(control c) (r)] 'rs-info-reload)

Bye, Reiner.
