I have the same problem. I submitted it to gimp bugzilla, and Roman Joost suggested I submit it here as a possible packaging error. Here is what I posted and his response. (I am running Fedora 9.) Opened by Leonard Evens (reporter, points: 3) 2008-12-12 21:04 UTC [reply] I am running Fedora 2.6.3. I just got updated to gimp 2.6.3. the help browser crashes with a segmentation error if I click on any link in the left had window or if I click on the link to the gimp website. Also, the arrow keys on the title bar don't do anything. If I click on anything on the left hand window with the contents, nothing happens. Comment #1 from Roman Joost (GIMP-manual developer, points: 14) 2008-12-12 21:27 UTC [reply] Hi Leonard. I think this bug should be filed against Fedora first to avoid that the bug is caused by improper packaging. Therefore resolving this bug report as INVALID.
Sorry, there was an error. I am running Fedora 9, not 2.6.3.
The same happens on my x86, too, so this is not x86_64 only. $ rpm -q gimp-help-browser gimp-help-browser-2.6.3-2.fc9.i386
This probably needs an updated WebKit-gtk package, just like in bug #466618. Changing component.
This does not occur after I upgraded to Fedora 10, with gimp-help-browser-2.6.3-2.fc10.x86_64 and WebKit-gtk-1.0.0-0.15.svn37790.fc10.x86_64 Should this bug be closed, or what?
It mustn't be closed until it is fixed in Fedora 9: No proper WebKit updates for Fedora 9 have been posted, yet, and the bug exists on Fedora 9.
Oopsie; apologies for the lack of a proper response on this one. I should be available to build & push the F9 update sometime tomorrow, and from there we could close this bug. Thanks again :)
WebKit-1.0.0-0.13.svn37790.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/WebKit-1.0.0-0.13.svn37790.fc9
I did 'rpm -F' to http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/WebKit/1.0.0/0.13.svn37790.fc9/i386/WebKit-gtk-1.0.0-0.13.svn37790.fc9.i386.rpm and things seem normal, so far. Thanks.
WebKit-1.0.0-0.13.svn37790.fc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 9 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing-newkey update WebKit'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F9/FEDORA-2009-0608
Actually, the command is # yum --enablerepo=updates-testing-newkey update WebKit-gtk After this update gimp-help no longer crashes. Dunno about any other possible side effects, haven't seen any yet. Should this bug now be closed?
It will get closed automatically once the WebKit-gtk package is pushed to stable.
