On my Kubuntu 16.04 system, I installed gvfs-libs (which was not
installed before).

I then ran the application, and clicked the "Help" button on the main
application window, and got the same error message as before (no change).

Just to make sure, I rebooted, then ran the test again.

I got the same error message as before (no change).
