Bug#24435: with htdig, KDevelop only fails to display search-results file; can get glimpse to work

[Steven Homolya]

Thanks for that but I have given up on getting "search for help" to work. It 
was quicker to browse manually. I still use kdev. 1.4 as trying to upgrade 
KDE caused a lot of headaches last time. Dependency problems meant that I had 
to force most rpm installs and file replacements, which in turn stuffed up 
most other things. In the end I gave up and reinstalled RH 7.1 fresh.
