There have been different reports across the board about 'Preview as
Web' working or not working. As such, I have thought that it may be a
platform dependent problem, and so it would be good if such reports
could include more information about platform, etc. I know that under
KDE, with the vanilla gtk build, 'Preview as Web' correctly launches
Konqueror and displays the
webpage (albeit in a horrid, horrid font, because for some reason konq
hates the UTF-8 encoding). As to the images being wrong, I'm working
on that problem right now. Patch forthcoming soon.

Take care,
