Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: yelp

No idea what 'yelp' is - anyway, as I said in the summary, "very time I
turn the touchpad on my laptop off, then on again the "Ubuntu Help
Center" pop up after slowing my system. Windows Vista popups were a
pain, but at least I could turn off most of them - this is getting
silly. Ubuntu isn't supposed to be like this."

In short, after scouring the Ubuntu Help Center itself, and various
online forums, including this place, I've still got no idea why this is
happening or how to fix it. It really getting in the way of my work,
since I do a lot of writing, and to do that I turn the touchpad on and
off often - dealing with these endless spammy popups isn't something I
was expecting to have to deal with on Ubuntu - if nothing else, is there
some way to remove the "Ubuntu Help Center" from my system entirely?
Didn't seem to be listed in the Synaptic Package Manager.
