Thank you, that was good.
I had /usr/share/gimp/2.0/, now, after (3 hours of) emerging gimp-help,
I also have help/en/
Unfortunately, I still get the same error msg.
Here are my USE flags:

I have the feeling that, when gimp didn't see the help/ dir the first
time, it set something, microsoft-like, in persistant storage, and
doesn't even try to look locally anymore.
And why it can't access the xml file, which is there, I have no idea.
But I see no flags that look related to GIO or GVFS.
You have a lot of flags set... I hope I don't have to set those all,
just to see if it helps...

Is there anything I can do?
When I open GIMP and go to help, it takes me here:
file:///usr/share/gimp/2.0/help/en/index.html
It opens in Seamonkey for me. Seamonkey is set as my default
browser. This is my USE flag settings.

Do you have the gimp-help package installed? If so, your USE flags
match mine?
