I personally don't fire Konqueror, but I click a link, call a web adress or 
ask Wikipedia for something … That's an important difference, because as 
long as I'm working with content, I'm not interested in tips for 
applications.

It's no blocker, but if current KDE tips are blockers, this one is a waste 
of space. I personally don't need startup tips, at least they never helped 
my so far, that's why I always disable them, regardless how they are shown.

As far as I can remember I've seen tips presented that way in StarOffice 
some years ago.
