Public bug reported:

/etc/xdg/midori/config contains:

 [settings]
 homepage=file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html 


which naturally isn't present in derivatives, and so in for example Kubuntu 
(and presumably any derivative distribution that doesn't unclude the 
ubuntu-artwork package) you get an ugly "Error opening file: No such file or 
directory" as your default homepage. 

Looking at the dependencies, merely making ubuntu-artwork a dependency
of midori wouldn't be good, since it pulls in a bunch of cruft that
folks running other desktops wouldn't need namely a bevy of GTK theme
packages). But looking upstream, Debian defaults to

 homepage=file:///usr/share/doc/midori/faq.html

which is in fact installed by the midori package in the Ubuntu repos,
and so seems like an entirely reasonable, DE-agnostic choice.
