Description Federico Mena Quintero 2002-05-18 01:35:18 UTC 
Some obvious bugs in gnome-help.c:

gnome_help_display_with_doc_id():
  - It is not using the doc_id at all.
  - It never uses the computed global_help_path().
  - It never checks the return value of stat().
  - The function is quite convoluted.  For readability, it should start
    doing the global stuff until after the local stuff has failed.

Assigning to myself as I am working on this.
Comment 1 Federico Mena Quintero 2002-05-20 18:48:57 UTC 
Fixed on CVS.

However, it still doesn't and it looks like it shouldn't pay attention
to the doc_id.  Is this an API bug?
