Bug#403409: yelp: Yelp keeps spawning new windows

[Sven Arvidsson]

Package: yelp
Version: 2.14.3-1
Severity: normal

I keep having an ugly situation with yelp where it starts spawning a
neverending series of new windows, until killed.

I can't really reproduce this all the time, but it seems to happen
when I start several yelp instances from an application. For example
pressing F1 a couple of times. 

After killing yelp, or quickly closing all windows, the next time I
start yelp the same behavior is either repeated, or yelp seems to die
directly. I have yet to get a backtrace though. 

After killing yelp, I often still see this in the ps output:
gnome-help ghelp:///usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-terminal/C/gnome-terminal.xml
