   To be transparent, after making this post, I started checking various   
   programs help functions and found that this fix only corrected some of   
   them.   
      
   I then applied the second fix listed by the same poster, at the same site,   
   and in the same thread, which was this:   
      
   1. Edit the file /usr/local/bin/yelp as root, command:   
      
   xed admin:///usr/local/bin/yelp   
      
      
   subprocess.Popen(["/usr/bin/yelp"] + sys.argv[1:])   
      
   Edit the line to this:   
      
   subprocess.Popen(["/usr/bin/env", "WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1", "/   
   usr/bin/yelp"] + sys.argv[1:])   
      
   and now all help files seem to be doing great.
