Thanks Don and Shaun for your replies. :)

My issues with yelp are rather with its backends. I haven't submitted a bug
report because I'm not sure it's a bug with yelp directly. Maybe you can
enlighten me about it.

1. Trying to use firefox/iceweasel as backend, I can't compile it because
libgtkembedmoz.so is missing. I think it was there in earlier
firefox/iceweasel versions, but not anymore it seems.
2. It does compile against xulrunner, but it then segfaults everytime I try
to access a docbook document. Probably a xulrunner problem because it used
to work fine with older xulrunner versions. I'm now trying with xulrunner
1.8.1.14pre and 1.9.0.2pre.
3. There is a libgtkembedmoz.so in thunderbird/icedove, and I can force yelp
to use that when compiling, but it crashes everytime I'm trying to launch
yelp. I know, it's not supported, but I had to try.
4. There is a libgtkembedmoz.so in seamonkey, but I don't want to make
seamonkey a dependency for yelp, so it's not an option for me and I haven't
even tried.

Thanks for any advice,

George
