that sounds a good idea, and we indeed have everything that is needed
already in place. That is, we have a MOTD (Message of the Day) patch in
gnome-session that reads /etc/motd. We could either make the system
update /etc/motd every once in a while with useful information (it now
always contains 'Have fun') or have a system wide file with that useful
information that is read by the gnome-session patch at startup.

Although that sounds a lot like the Tips app there was (or already is)
in KDE.

I would really prefer to have something like the old doorman, an app
that, apart from shwowing useful information (which it could do), it
offers a way to quickly setup the system (with tips on how to do change
those settings later, like ' go to control-center->whatever). This would
run the first time (or when there is a big update) and should help users
not only in getting their system configured (themes, panel layout, etc)
but also in getting to know how the system is configured.

I just saw something similar on my N810, first time it asks for the
basic configuration, and offers tips on how to change those settings
later. I think it makes sense.
