Bug#367960: help doesn't work

I can reproduce the bug Francesco has on my machine. I have XFCE as 
desktop manager and a few gnome apps installed. When I klick on help 
in gchempaint, nothing shows up.

If I manually open yelp and search for gchempaint, it only gives me 
the man page and not the XML help. I can manually open the XML file 
in /usr/share/help/{appname}, though.

It seems as though yelp doesn't index the /usr/share/help/ 
directories if a full gnome isn't installed. I guess a dependency is 
missing somehow, because yelp seems to work as usual in an gnome 
environment.

Keep up the good work!
