broken yelp on anaconda

I've encountered this while testing the installation of Fedora Rawhide 20151117 compose (Xfce Spin). I've also attached a screenshot.

Component's version:
yelp-3.19.1-2.fc24.x86_64

Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot the installer from Xfce's desktop
2. Click the Help button.

Actual results:
1. The help function doesn't work (see the attached screenshot).
2. abrt-cli catches the issue here reported.

Expected results:
1. The help function should work.

This could be a regression of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1276226

Proposed as a Blocker for 24-final by Fedora user juliuxpigface using the blocker tracking app because:

 This is a clear violation of the "2.2.14 Installer help" Final criteria.

"Any element in the installer interface(s) which is clearly intended to display 'help' text must do so correctly when activated. "

Link: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_24_Final_Release_Criteria#installer-help

Discussed at 2015-11-23 blocker review meeting: [1]. 

This bug was accepted as F24 Final blocker: This bug clearly violates the final criterion "Any element in the installer interface(s) which is clearly intended to display 'help' text must do so correctly when activated."

[1] http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2015-11-23/f24-blocker-review.2015-11-23-17.00.html

This crash occurs on first log in after install, too - I think when the little panel of introductory guidance videos and stuff should appear (I guess it's Yelp-driven).

Note that even if this bug is fixed, the user help in Anaconda will still not work due to unrelated https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753443 (which has an unreviewed patch).

Pushed a likely fix for this here: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?id=b3b048906c7378f104b8be4f4889a8e15025fcd1

Screenshot of Help in a (default) GNOME on Wayland session

This still happens for current Fedora development in a GNOME on Xorg session (launch "Files" and then "Help" from the context menu) whereas no crash occurs in a (default) GNOME on Wayland session. In the latter case however, the window is not rendered correctly, see attachment, thus unusable.

This looks like probably a new issue to me worth reporting in a new bug. (Yeah, a third Yelp blocker....)

It's this same crash, in gtkimcontextsimple.c?

The "Problem Reporting" tool returned me (again) to this very bug report; therefore, I suppose it to be the same issue.
