  Let's make a "big decisions of life" kcm module, which will be displayed
first run time, and it can also be popped up later.

  It would contain questions like:

1. Mac menu bar (was your previous machine a mac?)
2. Single/double click
3. Language
4. Left/handed right handed

  etc. This would be for beginners, who normally do not tweak the rest of
the settings. 
  Opinions?
