by commandline: gnome-appearance-properties"
Comment 1 Duncan Lithgow 2007-09-26 21:22:38 UTC 
I'm also seeing this bug in Ubuntu Gutsy, Gnome 2.20.0, updated 26th Sept.
Comment 2 Jens Granseuer 2007-09-28 16:40:34 UTC 
Yes, the button's simply not hooked up, and since yelp/rarian don't work for me I can't fix it atm. Is there actually documentation for the appearance capplet it could link to?
Comment 3 Denis Washington 2007-10-25 17:11:49 UTC 
The documentation is still for the single capplets as of 2.20.
Comment 4 Sebastien Bacher 2008-02-09 13:35:52 UTC 
Shouldn't this button being masked until it's doing something?
Comment 5 Jens Granseuer 2008-04-06 11:01:28 UTC 
*** Bug 526467 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 6 Duncan Lithgow 2008-08-05 20:20:50 UTC 
This bug is still present in gnome 2.22.3

The description needs updating.
Comment 7 Jens Granseuer 2008-08-05 20:23:04 UTC 
I guess we should really just remove the button.

        * data/appearance.glade: remove help button as long as we don't have
        any help to show (bug #473181)
Comment 9 Sebastien Bacher 2008-09-29 12:10:22 UTC 
reopening the button is still displayed in the current version
Comment 10 Jens Granseuer 2008-09-29 20:38:01 UTC 
Hrm.

Not FIXED/RESOLVED - still broken as described in 2.24
Comment 12 Jens Granseuer 2008-11-05 17:21:15 UTC 
Since it's only been removed after 2.24.0, that's not exactly surprising. In fact, it's been readded and made to work since.
