BTW: Is 'first-time' referred to 'first-time' users or the first-time the 
desktop starts? If you make it pop up at the first start IMHO most users will 
just close it, because it would be too big (they don't want to run 1 hours 
through the complete programm). IMHO a tutorial that pops up the first time 
should be small with 5-10 slides and a user should be able to run through it 
in 1/2 - 1 minute. 

Cheers

Christoph
