Well, this helped a lot. Now I have a welcome page up and running. With one 
small, but in it's effect major (esthetical) problem: my application's icon 
is not show on that page. I have done everything analogically to the code 
found in KMail (and even checked against the one from Akregator, to see if 
there are some relevant differences).

Still, what seems to work for them does not work for me. The application icon 
is not displayed on that page (though everything else works fine). What I 
mean is the icon specified in the CSS file with a line like:

#headerL {
    background-image: url(top-left-kding.png);
}

After digging into this a little deeper I think the problem is that the CSS 
file isn't found. When I replace the line

    @import "welcome.css";

in the "Welcome" page's HTML code with its absolute path equivalent

    @import "/usr/share/kde4/apps/kding/html/welcome.css";

it works the way I want... But this doesn't seem necessary for KMail or 
Akregator or Konqueror or the like, and I don't want to use the "hard-coded 
path" solution as said path depends on the distribution... Currently I have 
no idea why this doesn't work. Did I miss something else?

(In case this matters: I'm using Kubuntu 9.04)

Regards,
Michael
