Bug#617314: yelp: Yelp keeps spawning new windows

[Matthew W. Kincaid]

Package: yelp
Version: 2.30.1+webkit-1
Severity: important

I am currently experiencing this bug. If I type from the console:
        gnome-help ghelp:evolution
it will work as expected. But if I type in
        gnome-open ghelp:///usr/share/gnome/help/evolution/C/evolution.xml

I've tried this with a few programs and translations and the second type of URI
always fails. This comes up with gnome-terminal a lot because it seems to call
yelp the second way from their help menus. Other GNOME app I've tried calls
it the first way.
