Bug Description

Binary package hint: xubuntu-docs

TEST CASE:
Xubuntu-docs have been outdated for quite some time, and currently to not provide adequate instruction on how to perform various tasks in Xubuntu 10.04. I have made many corrections/changes for the Natty version of xubuntu-docs that are relevant to the Lucid version (9.10.1). These changes update some instructions and references of default programs installed in Xubuntu 10.04.

In a conversation with the Technical Board, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2010-December/000610.html, it was stated that I could address several bugs in xubuntu-docs through a single bug report, and this is my attempt to do so. The updated changelog, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/xubuntu-docs/lucid/view/head:/debian/changelog, lists all of the bugs that have been fixed by the following changes. The fixed bugs can also be found here, lp:xubuntu-docs/lucid.

All of the changes to xubuntu-docs have been committed to bazaar, starting with revision 206, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/xubuntu-docs/lucid/revision/206, through revision 277, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/xubuntu-docs/lucid/revision/277. Since the changes have been committed to bazaar, I'm sure if I need to attach a patch, but I will do so per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure.

I don't believe there would be an regression in xubuntu-docs with the implementation of these changes.

Verified the xubuntu-docs are now correct in 10.04.1, using a fresh installation in VirtualBox, fully updated before enabling proposed. Thanks for the hard work getting this done.
