Bug Description

The new Web slide in the Ubuntu slideshow shows Firefox pointed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_stone. The image used in Natty was actually tweaked quite extensively with GIMP in order to show more of the page (such as the image to the right in the article). With the new version, even more of the screenshot is dedicated to English text. We should find something that gets the point across with as little writing as possible. I was thinking http://one.laptop.org/stories might be a good one :)

Okay, finally got around to it. (And figured out why Nautilus wasn't working).
Here is my proposed new screenshot: http://ubuntuone.com/4420cxAuI2BOZY50Zk5L8U.

Merge request coming in a moment. We can probably slip this in with a last translation update, if there's time for one of those. The image itself is about 20kB smaller than the last one :)

I think we're just too late for this. We're already frozen for the RC images.

Do subscribe ubuntu-release and poke someone in #ubuntu-release if you'd like to try for it anyway :)

While this page of OLPC website doesn't contain much text. It is not very representative for "the web". This page might be more representative: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG-Q7hTKCws&list=FLQWMNO5DvDipO_t0ITRpbyw&index=18&feature=plpp_video

Note that this (and other screenshot tasks) is just waiting for
Ubuntu's new desktop background to land. Even if it's a small
difference, it would be quite a shame to have screenshots with the
wrong background showing :)
