That's a new one to me.  In version 2 of Navigator I created a list of
"about:" eggs by looking at ASCII strings in the executable.  Here's
my list, for what little it's worth:

	about:mozilla
	about:authors
	about:splash
	about:license
	about:plugins
	about:global
	about:image-cache
	about:memory-cache
	about:blank
	about:hype
	about:nothinginparticular
	about:1994
