Bug#443927: yelp: gnome-help also hangs at loading phase

[Russ Allbery]

Package: yelp
Version: 2.18.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #443927

I'm fairly sure this is related to the previous report of lack of style
information and I get that too if I abort the load of help and click on
the top-level menu.

If I start gnome-help by clicking on the Help button in, say, the
Sessions preferences dialog, the help window spawns but stays at
Loading with a spinning cursor apparently forever.  If I click on any
of the topic headings while in this state, it pops up an error dialog
saying that this section doesn't exist.  If I click on the top level,
I get the previously reported error about style information.

I'm guessing something broke as part of the 2.20 Gnome upgrade.
