Bug Description

The program "yelp" had to be manually installed after testing the gnumeric application. After installation, and pressing the "f1" button as instructed by the test manual, a help browser window did open but it could not find any documentation. The title of the window read, "Document not found", "The URI ‘ghelp:gnumeric’ does not point to a valid page". It looks like this help browser window acts like a search engine for program howto manuals. Unfortunately, it could not find any.

Same here, when pressing F1 in gnumeric I get: "Document Not Fount" "The URI ‘ghelp:gnumeric’ does not point to a valid page." Same Lubuntu release and package.
