Yelp appears to start OK.  In the tty appear 8 error messages like:

    (yelp:2967): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tool_button_new: assertion
    `icon_widget == NULL || GTK_IS_MISC (icon_widget)' failed

After a bit more clicking, to try to get to an Info page, yelp crashes
(and exits) with:

    Yelp:ERROR:yelp-document.c:275:yelp_document_cancel_page: assertion
    failed: (document != NULL && YELP_IS_DOCUMENT (document))
