Well, if I were you I'd also show the most polished program of GNOME - 
Gnumeric. 
Also show him the Gtk+ themes option to impress him (from 
control-center)...
hrmmm, what else can you do - Show him how easi it is to set mime-types, 
you could show this by associating the .rpm extension for installation...
Oh yeah, you might wanna show 'gnorpm' and 'gdm2' - with gdm you can show 
him the 'Face Browser' which I think is really cool...
Perhaps also showing him the 'activity' of the GNOME project itself 
showing that bugs are rapidly fixed and released are made very promptly.
You could also demo all the cool little applets and show all their neat 
functionality.
