This issue has been fixed upstream. It should be available on 1.10.1.

You can have more informations on http://code.pgadmin.org/trac/ticket/39.

Although I don't doubt that an encoding issue for the Guru Hints has been fixed in 1.10.1 as the previous comment states I believe there is an additional packaging issue that effects Red Hat (blank) and not Ubuntu (working correctly).

Some investigation into the paths that pgAdmin3 searches when looking for the Guru Hints HTML files revealed that the path in question exists on Ubuntu systems, but is different on Red Hat systems:
    ~> cd /tmp/irrelevant-dir 
    /tmp/irrelevant-dir> strace -e stat64 -f pgadmin3 2>&1 | grep -i doc
    stat64("/usr/share/pgadmin3//docs", 0xbff259b8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    stat64("/tmp/irrelevant-dir/./../share/pgadmin3/docs", 0xbff259b8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    stat64("/tmp/irrelevant-dir/./docs", 0xbff259b8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    stat64("/tmp/irrelevant-dir/./../docs", 0xbff259b8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
where the first one is the one we care about.

Browsing pgadmin3.spec makes me wonder if the packager was under the impression the HTML files are only installed for people to browse with their browsers:
    # Remove unwanted and double files
    rm -f docs/{Docs.vcproj,builddocs.bat}
    rm -rf %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/%{name}/docs
    rm -f %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/%{name}/i18n/{*,.}/wxstd.mo
and not read directly by the program.  Normally that would be a reasonable impression for "docs".

Anyway, I found that a simple fix is create a symlink so that the path exists:
    > ln -s ../doc/pgadmin3-1.10.2 /usr/share/pgadmin3/docs

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2010-04-27 15:50:02 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
