ghelp links don't work

[Jeldert]

Binary package hint: yelp

The following links don't work in Yelp:
ghelp:fdl
ghelp:gpl
ghelp:gnome-feedback

After clicking one of these links a popup says: "Unable to load page" and "The requested URI "ghelp:gpl" is invalid".

These links can be found in the "About This Document", "About [program name]" and "Authors" page of most gnome applications. I found them in:
gedit
gcalctool
Rhythmbox
iagno
AisleRiot
sudoku
Sound Juicer

I suspect most help files contain at least one of these links.

This bug is both in Ubuntu 8.04 alpha 6 (i386 live cd) and Ubuntu 7.10 (AMD64 install).
