Do you install the omf file? usually if you have a docs file named as
docs.xml, then you also have a omf file named docs-C.xml for C locale,
the docs-C.xml file will be installed in `/usr/share/omf` (default
configure) and processed by the scrollkeeper.

the Makefile for processing omf file is called omf.make in most of GNOME
packages, so you can find it in any gnome packages.

There is a problem for these omf.make file if you use GNU/Linux:

You won't see the warning in yelp 2.4.0.

It should be stored in 

/usr/share/sgml/docbook/yelp/docbook/images/caution.png 

once you installed yelp (at least for 2.2.0 and 2.4.0 as far as I know)

You might try download the yelp and untar and file the image in the
source tree.
