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.
