The content of an intro depends on the view being zoomed, in order to be shown. As a view cannot be zoomed, when the perspecive layout is fixed ( IPageLayout.setFixed(true) ), the content is not loaded.

This is due to WorkbenchIntroManager.setIntroStandby(IIntroPart part, boolean standby):
The content of the intro is loaded because of the call:
viewIntroAdapterPart.getSite().getPage().toggleZoom(		pane.getPartReference());
This call fails in an early state, when the perspective's layout is fixed and the view cannot be zoomed. Furthermore, the content of the intro is not loaded.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an intro using CustomizableIntroPart using html 
(as described in Platform Plug-in Developer Guide > Programmer's Guide > User assistance support > Welcome > Using the CustomizableIntroPart).
2. Set the layout of a perspective as fixed:
  public void createInitialLayout( IPageLayout layout )
  {
    ...
    layout.setFixed( true );
    ...
  }
3. Start the RCP-application and start the intro during startup or by the command handler: org.eclipse.ui.help.quickStartAction)
