DetailsDescription:
In many GNOME applications I can't open help by 'Help' menu 'Content' item. When I try it, Yelp opens, but drop an error message, e.g. 'The requested URI "ghelp:empathy" is invalid', and not open the document. It's only happens with the following applications, which use Mallard document format for it's help files: empathy gcalctool tetravex hamster-applet f-spot gbrainy gthumb Only 'tomboy' and 'banshee' opens help well from applications that use Mallard format. But if I run e.g. 'yelp /usr/share/gnome/help/empathy/C/' from command line, help document opens without an error, so this error only happens, when I launch help from an application's menu. Additional info: * package version(s) yelp 2.30.2-1 gnome-doc-utils 0.20.2-2 libxslt 1.1.26-2 rarian 0.8.1-1 xulrunner 1.9.2.12-1 Steps to reproduce: Try open help from an application that I mentioned -> Yelp opens, but you have got 'The requested URI "ghelp:<application>" is invalid' error message, and help not shown. |

It seems yelp wrongly assumes the dirs from g_get_system_data_dirs() have trailing slashes. So either yelp is broken or our glib2 is.
Our XDG_DATA_DIRS set in /etc/profile.d/xorg.sh is broken. The dirs are supposed to have trailing slashes.
