I'm pretty sure it's one of my changes that broke help for Alex. See my 
previous mail.

For some reason, my Fedora system does know how to deal with ghelp 
system-wide. Even in thunderbird, ghelp:gnucash-help is recognized as a 
link I can click on. If I click on it, I'm asked which application to 
use to open the file. "Help" (the human name for yelp) is the default 
suggestion. And it does open the help file properly in this way (given I 
have manually adjusted the paths where the help files are installed, see 
bug 661705 [1]).

If I read your mail correctly, you have installed yelp on your system.

What happens if you use
yelp ghelp:gnucash-help
