--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
I'm not saying dump the "functional" 'User Interface..' dialog pop-up on new
profile use.  As agreed/implmented for bug 137931 that remains acceptable. 

What is NOT acceptable is a Welcome dialog popped open from the UI, it would be
far more efficient to open a web browser and link WiKi and tailored help
content for getting users started.

I am saying the 'User interface...' dialog is sufficient, anything more needs
to go to the Tools -> Options dialog panels. 

That where the now defunct 'Personalization' panel would be a reasonable
location to consolidate some of the emerging UI configuration
decisions/settings that folks might like to adjust.

Lots of opportunity to do something functional there.

A Welcome screen though would just be "fluff" that new users/or on profile
reset will be blow through, non-functional other than self-advertising and a
waste of dev effort to implement/maintain that could be better spent elsewhere.
