I'm pretty sure starting with this release that is not the case
anymore. From app/config/gimpguiconfig.c:
===
#define DEFAULT_GIMP_HELP_BROWSER GIMP_HELP_BROWSER_WEB_BROWSER
#define DEFAULT_THEME "Default"
#ifdef G_OS_WIN32
# define DEFAULT_WEB_BROWSER "not used on Windows"
#else
# define DEFAULT_WEB_BROWSER "mozilla %s"
#endif
===
I think they made this change because too many people, especially on
Windows, were going to Help and getting nothing.
I've looked through the source, and there's no build time switching of
the DEFAULT_GIMP_HELP_BROWSER value. All that happens if libgtkhtml
is found is that the internal help browser is built. It's not set as
the default unless you specifically override it.
However, I'm now building libgtkhtml to see if this really is the case or not.
