OK.my 0.02=A4 hint. The fisrt thing a user sees is kpersonalizer. Most us=

will just press next, next, next...finish. So, make the tutorial pop up a=

kpersonalizer (*) putt the next button of the tutorial at the same place =
as=20
the next/finish button of kpersonalizer. I believe users are lazy (espezi=

newbies) and rather don't move the mouse if it isn't necessary.  IMHO I w=

show some sort of 'progress bar' like page 1 of 10, slide 1/10, 10%...

(*) I can help with that. I am developing on kpersonalizer. I can make yo=
