 If I choose "help" from the help menu I get the following error in a pop
 up window:
 {{{
 help Message

 Could not open 'http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-help.xml'
 for reading: Operation not supported

 Perhaps you are missing GIO backends and need to install
 GVFS?
 }}}
 This is with the help system preferences set to "Use the online version"
 and to use the web browser.  If I install the gimp-user-manual port and
 choose to use the local version then I get the (outdated) local help
 successfully.  I also tried the +gvfs variant and got the same error
 message.

 This could be an upstream bug or there could be something wrong with the
 macports gvfs system as suggested by the error.  However the URL mentioned
 in the error is empty.  The help manual now seems to be located at
 http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/index.html so perhaps the URL is no longer
 correct, though this is not an xml file.
