Title:
  Release notes browser lost when you Try Kubuntu

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I downloaded a post-RC Kubuntu 10.10 amd-64 nightly build and used
  usb-creator to make a bootable USB out of a FAT32 partition on my
  flash drive, and booted my PC from it.

  From the "Kubuntu 10.10 Installation process" Welcome screen I clicked
  "You may wish to read the _release notes_", and in the browser that
  pops up I browsed, filed bugs, had lots of tabs open.  Very nice!

  But when I clicked Try Kubuntu, without warning the browser window
  went away, the rekonq process died, and I got a new full KDE desktop.
  The user could lose data depending on what she was doing in the
  browser.

  It would be nice if the browser window was preserved when you click
  Try Kubuntu.  If that's not possible, maybe the browser window could
  alert e.g. "OK to quit browser? (you can start it again after Kubuntu
  starts)" and if the user cancels, the Welcome screen remains.

  The workaround is to just start Kickoff > Web Browser after Kubuntu
  starts.  The new rekonq reloaded my tabs (but not the back button
  history for them).
