Didn't we intentionally ditch the startup wizard from GNOME 2.early
something on the theory that we should just let users use their computer
and all of our functionality should be easily discoverable?

I sort of like the idea of a totally fresh GNOME session starting up
with a Web and www.gnome.org/welcome/ in the browser, with lots of
little YouTube videos. That could be useful and unobtrusive.
