Bug Description

When I launch Firefox, it loads:

file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html

But if I try to click on any of the "The Wonderful World of Linux" links, "wonderful-linux.html" is missing.

The index.html is symlinked.
But the other files in /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kubuntu/about-kubuntu/ would need symlinking too.
Or, maybe a better solution, add a redirect.html to kubuntu-docs and symlink that to /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html instead of the index.html from /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kubuntu/about-kubuntu/

redirect.html would contain something like:
<html>
<META
     HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
     CONTENT="0; URL=file:///usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kubuntu/about-kubuntu/index.html">
</html>

To clarify: ALL of the links on the default Firefox start page produce a "file not found" error message.

comment: Experienced users will start browsing and change their homepage quite quickly, so it is probable that only new users are likely to see this message. The result could be very few reports on launchpad, but new converts getting a sense of poor quality control. It looks like a fix would be 3 symlinks for "credits", "disclaimer" and "wonderful world" afaics.

I am removing this from fix committed as it needs to be restructured for Feisty anyways.
