Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: yelp

Trying to view System > About Ubuntu or System > Help and Support causes
the machine to freeze for some minutes then reporting an error (see
attached screen shot).

Changing to a console works but killing yelp causes X to die. Changing
back to the desktop only shows a few centimeters of the lower right
desktop corner and then nothing happens.

While the machine is "frozen" the mouse still works. Clicking anything
doesn't do anything until the machine wakes up again. Pointing at the
yelp window causes the mouse cursor to flicker like some kind of graphic
corruption.

Attached screen shot shows the error reported after the machine responds
again.
