rcp application with preference pages - tray help button does not open in-dialog context help [message #594326]

My RCP app contributes some preference pages.
I call
TrayDialog.setDialogHelpAvailable(true); on application
initialization, so the preference dialog comes up with the help button
in the lower left.

BUT pressing the help button does nothing in the preference dialog;
the context help (dynamic help view) works fine for my views in the
workbench.

However I noticed that the button does work if I run the rcp app against
*all* plugins in the eclipse sdk (ie, platform+jdt+pde... which
contribute a lot of pref pages) !!
Therefore I guess some other plugin is connecting the dots so that the
help button invokes the context help in-dialog.

What's the trick ?
