What function are you using to invoke help?

gnome_help_display should invoke the help browser selected in "URL
Handlers", as should the standard menu code:

*****************

static GnomeUIInfo help_menu [] = {
  GNOMEUIINFO_HELP ("gnome-hello"),
  
  GNOMEUIINFO_MENU_ABOUT_ITEM(about_cb, NULL),
  
  GNOMEUIINFO_END
};

*****************
