I'm using the gnome2.2 backport currently avaiable from
ftp.acc.umu.se.

Thanks!
The problem is that no entry for the Gnome user guide shows up
anywhere in the hierarchy of documents that is available when I start
yelp.
I have since narrowed this down a bit--there is no entry when I'm
using the Norwegian locale, but it does show up when I set the locale
to C. In other words:
$ LC_ALL=no_NO.ISO-8859-1 yelp
results in a yelp which does not contain a entry for the user guide,
but
$ LC_ALL=C yelp
does. I think that's very peculiar, particularly since most of the
documents are in English, even in the Norwegian locale.
Apart from that, yelp is unbearable slow--it can take anything up to
ten seconds from when I click on an entry to the document shows up in
the window, and that's on my 512MB Athlon XP 1800.
Yelp always insists on opening a ridiculously small window when I
start it. At a guesstimate, it covers less than a sixth of my
1600x1400 screen and I have to resize it every time.
I have also found a number of bugs in the scrollkeeper documentation
system:
gs234@belldandy:~$ sudo /etc/cron.monthly/scrollkeeper
