OK.my 0.02¤ hint. The fisrt thing a user sees is kpersonalizer. Most users 
will just press next, next, next...finish. So, make the tutorial pop up after 
kpersonalizer (*) putt the next button of the tutorial at the same place as 
the next/finish button of kpersonalizer. I believe users are lazy (espezially 
newbies) and rather don't move the mouse if it isn't necessary.  IMHO I would 
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 your 
tutorial start. 

Cheers

Christoph
