You should get a slightly more useful error message now. But I am still
puzzled why your installation of GIO/GVFS doesn't handle http: requests.
I will get a new computer at work this week and it will run Ubuntu
Hardy. I will check if I can reproduce the problem there.

In the meantime I have also added a check for the local user manual
installation. So if a user requests help and the manual is not
installed, she will see a dialog asking if she wants to use the online
version instead.
