I don't have Scrollkeeper in  the left Pane (kde-3.1).  In kde-3.2 I have it, 
but it is empty.

It opens here with kxmleditor (kde-3.1)
In kde-3.2 it shows interpreted xml code.  So there are no tags, but only the 
text that is normally encapsulated within the tags.

In kde-3.1 I get the error message: unknown protocol "ghelp".

What I did more is: I used the script 'meinproc' to convert the xml format to 
html and after that used khelpcenter <file:'created index.html> and than I 
was able to show the docu.  The result can be found here:
