Problem finding klipper docs (locally)

If I launch the clipboard widget (klipper), click "Configure  
Clipboard," and then click the "Help" button, I get the dreaded  
"Documentation not Found" page I wrote in 2014.  (I just discovered  
this because someone sent me a message because my email address is on  
that page as the author.)  He's on Suse Tumbleweed, and I'm on Gentoo,  
so I don't think it's a packaging problem.

However, if I open khelpcenter and search for klipper (how is someone  
to know that "klipper" is the name of the "clipboard" widget?) the  
documentation is present.

So, I'm wondering if Klipper is actually calling KHelpCenter with the  
wrong name for the doc it is looking for.

Separately, when that happens, there is no way to know what page  
KHelpCenter was asked to find.  Would that be a useful enhancement to  
request?  (Showing the name of the doc requested when it can't be  
found.)

I'll also probably try to update the "Documentation not Found" page to  
add a note not to contact the author of the page for help, as he will  
just tell you to follow the instructions on the page.
