This is supposed to be just a copy of the file srcunx/gvxhelp.txt that comes with gsview. For some unknown reason, the gsview-4.6-r1 ebuild does not install this file. Anyway, this file is just a trivial shell script that invokes "mozilla" to display a .html file. It should really instead invoke whatever browser the user prefers for this purpose. In my case I would prefer Firefox to be invoked. Is there a program in portage that does the right thing that can be used for this? Maybe the gsview ebuild should come with its own gsview-help script that knows how to invoke some program which knows how to invoke the user's preferred browser. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install gsview. 2.Try to use any of the help menu items. Actual Results: Notice that the help menu items don't work. (strace reveals that a subprocess fails to find a program named gsview-help in PATH to run.) Expected Results: Displayed the help .html files in a web browser.
