Well, iceape had the old style about: page, so I stole the one from
firefox because it's prettier, modified it a bit, and added 2 more
lines:
# Read the Debian README file for this package.
# See the Debian bug reports for this package.

I also needed to patch caps/src/nsScriptSecurityManager.cpp to allow
links from about: to file:/// urls. See bz#365526.

The last bit was to set the homepage to about:. I also had to add a
component that modifies the homepage if it happened to be the old
mozilla one (a file that doesn't exist anymore), but that's specific.

Mike
