It works for me too (even searching). But I see some things missing,
although I'm using Yelp 3.18 from the host distro:

* Clicking any index result in an error:
   error on line 1114 at column 428: PCDATA invalid Char value 8
* Info manuals are not in the list of manuals available.

Being able to use Yelp would be great, in my opinion. After all, GNOME 
is the GNU Desktop.
