Just like one of those annoying M$ clips eh? Perhaps we should be much
nicer, check for a version string in gconf (which will not exist if they
just installed, or be wrong if they upgraded) which says:

	Welcome to GNOME 2.8!

	To help you enhance your user experience, there
	is some documentation for first time and experienced
	users.
	 - What's new in GNOME 2.8?
	 - GNOME Users Guide
	 - Living with GNOME
	 - More... (GNOME Help)

It's nowhere near as invasive as that annoying wizard Ximian used to
have, is easily dismissed, never appears again, and might be helpful
to first time users.
