61 I have the feeling that, when gimp didn't see the help/ dir the first
62 time, it set something, microsoft-like, in persistant storage, and
63 doesn't even try to look locally anymore.
64
65 And why it can't access the xml file, which is there, I have no idea. 
66 But I see no flags that look related to GIO or GVFS.
67
68 You have a lot of flags set... I hope I don't have to set those all,
69 just to see if it helps...
