Maybe, a temporary workaround that I discovered was to do:

$ yelp /usr/share/gnome/help/gnumeric/C/gnumeric.xml

and save it as a bookmark and then when invoked from Gnumeric (via the 
F1) I just choose it from the Bookmark menu after dismissing the dialog 
  box wrt the file not being found.  It is ugly and it gets me to the 
manual whilst waiting for a 'real' solution...

Thanks for the hint thus allowing a temporary solution.

Actually, most flamewars are caused by Vim being much worse than Emacs.
