Are you sure you want to quit the KDE Setup Assistant?

If you quit, all changes will be lost. Press cancel to go back and finish your 
set up.

I have seen such dialogs multible times. The current dialog is rather unusal 
for users. 
IMHO I would suggest an additional dialog for page 1 where no changes have 
been made so far (if the next button has not been pressed):

The KDE Setup Assistant helps you to adjust the desktop to you personal taste. 
Press cancel to go back and finish your set up.
