Default Gnome Help doesn't quite work
Hi everyone,

after finally resolving the libproxy/libnotify issue that was giving me a major headache, I noticed that I can't get to the Gnome Help system from the Help menu of any Gnome application; I get an error message along the lines of
Code:
unsupported location
or some such (it's German). From the System/Help menu at the top of the screen, I can get at all documents.

Any ideas?

TIA,
Frank

Hi! I have a similar problem with Russian help. Have you found a solution?

To solve this problem you need:
1. Аdd
Code:
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/ghelp
to /usr/local/share/applications/yelp.desktop
2. Run
Code:
update-desktop-database

That's not bad already, however, that only invokes the general help, not the page specific to the application from which help is opened. For me, anyway.

Similar situation. Context-sensitive help is not working. So far have to use the search built-in Help.

I have the same problem on my FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE with a updated port tree. Any help menu of a Gnome application does not work.
