Drop start.fedoraproject.org in favour of about:home

[Zoltan Hoppar]

Hi,

In my opinion we should diff two situation. I think it would be nice
touch to have 2 (!) simple genshi template locally too as startup
page, that:

a, Says greetings at very first install (then it disappears on next
start), what is useful for those who are first met with the system,
and getting acquainted, provides descripiton about the system itself,
and few suggestions
b, Quick shortcuts to different resources. I mean here can be kept the
search field too, but I think we can bind active parts too, like login
to fas, and fedora people storage, wiki, and ask.fedora,
fedoracommunity international communities, and so on.

Zoltan
