I tried it, but I can't get Nautilus to open 'www.debian.org' any more.
On my laptop (which now runs Ubuntu Hoary) I get (translating from
Lithuanian) "Cannot open http://www.debian.org": it is not a folder".
On a desktop at work (Debian unstable) I get "The Word Processor view
encountered an error while starting up.".

Wait a minute.  I typed "http://www.debian.org" instead of just
"www.debian.org", and I got what looks like a word processor embedded in
a new Nautilus window, displaying an empty page.  There are no extra
translated menu items.

I suspect that I just don't have the same nautilus plugin installed on
either machine.
