One thing I noticed is that GNOME and KDE stores their help files in different 
locations. Yelp shouldn't have a problem opening up KDE documentation as it 
is a .docbook extension. This has been a goal of the Freedesktop campaign 
for "YEARS" and neither side has done much to meet it, or make it work.

I have the same problem with GNOME docs on Kubuntu so I know the feeling.

I wonder if we setup packaging to install $DOCSHOME or something like that? 
Jordan?
