Bug Description

When I start yelp from gnome-terminal, I get this warning:

I/O warning : failed to load external entity "Cannot write to log file: /var/log/scrollkeeper.log : Permission denied"

Looking at /var/log, indeed only root can write to that log file:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 715876 2006-03-25 11:10 /var/log/scrollkeeper.log

Thanks for your bug. Do you still get that issue? It used to do that on my box too I think and doesn't do it now
