Bug Description

Yelp does not show the Ubuntu documentation (Ubuntu User Guide) when you launch it.

Tested both with the en_US and el_GR locales.

What happens: When you click on Help, the yelp application opens but the window is blank, empty.
What should happen: Yelp should display the Ubuntu documentation.

What is going on though: Yelp does open the Ubuntu documentation but everything appears white. As if an overlay is covering the documentation. See attached screenshots.

Here I typed Cltr+A to Select All in the Yelp window and blindly tried to move the selected content with the mouse.

Indeed, the documentation is there but it appears all white in the Yelp window.
