Yes, I agree that there a number of things not working with help (more
than one I expect).  By
the way,  in the current configuration it is supposed to be using
gnomevfs but it still wants to
use GIO which is the way of the future for GTK/GNOME apps.  So best long
range plan
is to debug gvfs and get it working. If you have any specific tested
solutions, please post them
as a new enhancement request as opposed to adding on to closed tickets.
Thanks.
