Clicking Web Links in slideshow doesn't spawn browser

[Dave Walker]

When using ubiquity-slideshow, and a link represented by traditional blue hyperlink to forums for example is clicked. A web browser isn't spawned, and is silently ignored. Installation does not have a detrimental effect.

Only tested in Mythbuntu variant, but suspect it's also present in other flavours - however this requires confirmation.

This still needs to be implemented by registering the necessary signal handlers in Ubiquity. I will see if I can find that out myself, but there should be some examples floating around somewhere...

  * Disable the forward button for the usersetup page when coming from
    both the automatic and manual partitioning pages, rather than just
    the latter.
