From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; de-DE; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: The problem with not getting a full menu when running "help" or "yelp" is with the scrollkeeper program, but it affects yelp users. One of the scrollkeeper programs is responsible for creating a temporary file with a list of contents -- /usr/bin/scrollkeeper-get-cl . It uses a set of 5 temporary files, named "/tmp/scrollkeeper-tempfile.0" "/tmp/scrollkeeper-tempfile.1" ... "/tmp/scrollkeeper-tempfile.4", one for each time this program is called. These files get cycled through. When it's time to use a file that's owned by another user, this program fails. For example, lets say on a freshly-installed system, dave uses yelp twice. Then bill gets on and uses yelp three more times. The temporary files used by the scrollkeeper-get-cl program would then look like this: -rwxr--r-- 1 dave dave 43798 Sep 7 18:28 /tmp/scrollkeeper-tempfile.0 -rwxr--r-- 1 dave dave 43798 Sep 7 18:29 /tmp/scrollkeeper-tempfile.1 -rwxr--r-- 1 bill bill 43798 Sep 7 18:30 /tmp/scrollkeeper-tempfile.2 -rwxr--r-- 1 bill bill 43798 Sep 7 18:31 /tmp/scrollkeeper-tempfile.3 -rwxr--r-- 1 bill bill 43798 Sep 7 18:33 /tmp/scrollkeeper-tempfile.4 When bill goes to use yelp yet one more time, the full menu will not appear, because bill cannot delete and re-use the "scrollkeeper-tempfile.0" file. Every time thereafter that bill goes to use yelp, it will fail to show a full content menu, unless dave uses it twice. User sue, tom, and frank may was well forget being able to see a full menu.

Okay, according to gnome.org's Bugzilla, # 113151 at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113151 this bug was fixed with scrollkeeper-0.3.14. This should not be a problem with FC2 or FC3. More about this problem is documented in the Scrollkeeper website in their bug-tracking system, issue # 798614, at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=798614&group_id=11543&atid=111543 I am closing this, as hopefully a FC1 user can just download the FC2 scrollkeeper-0.3.14-2.1.src.rpm or .i386.rpm and get the problem fixed.
