+1 for that.

I got my mom to use fedora, and now she enjoys the browser-mode better,
/especially/ the bookmarks mode.

Given that Fedora does create a helpful directory structure, like
Documents, Music, Pictures, etc.,[1], I think we should try and promote
the browser mode.

Now, if people think that it is an extremely bad idea, then how about
providing a simple wizard, which will provide options like:

1. Customize your desktop - like wallpapers / themes / colors -- may be
also provide an option for downloading new items.
2. Customize the way your applications behave - like setting your
preferred applications, etc.
3. And some other things under the sun :-)

Just my views.

later,
Rogue

[1] - I know there are a lot of people who do not like it, but from a
desktop perspective for most users in my family who are not very
tech-savvy, it works great. Well, they are all 50+ years old :-) And I
definitely do not wish to star a flame war right now =)
