Description Kat 2015-12-16 12:06:41 UTC 
Yelp is occasionally used on platforms other than GNOME where gnome-help is not installed. This makes the default view when yelp is run rather ugly.

Rather than relying on downstream patches, the default for yelp should be to show help-list if gnome-help isn't installed. Also, this will account for a corner case on GNOME where gnome-help is missing for some reason.
