Perhaps you are missing whatever gnome/ubuntu uses for displaying help files, 
though I do not know what that would be. Also, it simply could be that this 
package, as it was automatically imported from Debian, might simply be mis-
configured at compile time. Many packages in the vast so-called "universe" 
section of the repos are like that, unless someone finds these bugs, reports 
and someone hopefully fixes it.

You  could try running the  program from a terminal and see if there are any 
error messages there when you try using the Help. It might tell us what is 
missing.
