something we discussed at aKademy during of our beer drinking, er, i mean, 
blue sky discussions was the introduction of a "learning box" that would sit 
unobtrusively somewhere on screen that could house standard bits of 
information.

this would give it a standard location, make it easy to turn off (important 
since its newbyville) and allow for easier access to all SORTS of 
information, including WhatsThis.

of course, we also discussed having konqi popup out from behind icons and yell 
funny things at users when they get stuck or do the wrong thing. so. hah. 
yeah. aaaaah. beer.
