Or maybe, we should do a "Tip of the Day" concept of some sort (which I also tend to ignore and turn off.) I don't know. :-)
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.
