+1

Initially I was all for such first-boot features (especially with regard to
G1G1 and the help-activity). But after thinking about Eben's arguments in
both cases I agree that user should definitely see the home-view as the
first thing when they boot the machine. Especially the Sugar-Control-Panel
and its overlay above the home-view (which IIRC isn't used anywhere else in
Sugar except for the Journal object chooser instead of the traditional
file-choose dialogue) could be quite confusing.

Cheers,
Christoph
