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).
