This still occurs with gnome-session 2.26.1-7 and yelp 2.26.0-1, and the
same fix still applies, whether on a new install or old system.
Removing "/usr/share/gnome" from the list of directories in
XDG_DATA_DIRS prevents yelp from seg faulting. As best as I can tell,
the only way to do this is still to modify
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc directly, as that file
sources ~/.gnomerc before adding the problematic directory to the path.
This bug should probably be reclassified as gnome-session rather than
yelp, but I do not know how to do that without simply opening a
duplicate bug against gnome-session. Or is the fact that yelp can't
deal with this directory a problem in yelp? It seems to me to be
gnome-session, as it appears to be assuming (incorrectly) that
/usr/share/gnome is just a link to /etc.
