I think this one could be debated at very great length. The first time
the user logs into their desktop, they want to start *using* their
desktop.

Almost all questions you can put into a first-time-wizard, fall into 
one or more of the categories of:

 - User has no clue about the answer
 - User doesn't care and is annoyed at having to pick something
 - User would rather do later as necessary

You can probably ask for name/email address. You might be able
to get away with a screen where you give the user one or
two options for enabling AT.

And that's about it. 

(I don't think asking for the user's language is worthwhile; in
99% of cases, user will be comfortable with the system's default
language. For the remaining 1%... maybe it's worth having an option
that computer lab adminstrators in Belgium can turn on to
display such a screen.)
