I removed everything related to KDE 4, and some problems were solved. Then I
run "susehelpindex --force --verbose" and it got better.

If I click on Help in konqueror, a firefox window pops up, where I can search
for "konqueror" and find nothing.

If I manually open "khelpcenter" (on the same or another workspace) and repeat
the previous test, I get a "khelpcenter" window with knoqueror manual opened.

If I type search for "kbabel" in "khelpcenter", I get this:

]  Search Results for 'kbabel':
]
]Novell AppArmor Administration Guide (en)
]GNU Licenses
] Htdig error: 
]Unable to read configuration file
]
]Background Information on AppArmor Profiling
] Htdig error: 
]Unable to read configuration file
..
(a lot more errors, then...)
..
] Application Manuals
] KDE Application Manuals
] kbabel

and clicking there rbings me the kbabel manual.

If I click "help" on a gnome app, like gnome-terminal, I get the firefox
window, without the manual. Searching for "gnome-terminal" gets me this:

] SUSE Help
]       
]       
]       
] Home  Content         Search Options  Search:
]
] Search Results for 'gnometerminal'

and nothing found.

So, Help only works in "khelpcenter" - although that is unable to find the
"gnome-terminal". Thinking that that manual might not exist, I try with one I
do know that exists (it is in "contents"), like the "gedit" manual: search does
not find it. It finds entries, but wrong ones that do not work:

..
]GNOME User Guide (en)
]GNOME Desktop
]openSUSE 10.2 (11/23/06)

 but clicking there pops up another error:

]       Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder 
] file:///usr/share/doc/manual/opensuse-gnomeuser_en/manual/sec.linwin.sys.html
] does not exist.

And it is true, the dir exists, but not the file.

If I manually start "yelp" and search for "gedit", I get:

] Search results for "gedit"

] Repeat the search online at the GNOME Support Forums

It doesn't find the manual, which is findable browsing for it. You see, it is
impossible to reliably search for anything in the help system.
