The only thing that could maybe work would be an unobstrusive little bubble popup on first run, saying something like: "Hey, we makers of ubuntu have created four differently shaded themes for you to chose from. Click this bubble to select the one that suits your tastes best! You can also customize your desktop's looks later by opening the Appearance settings from the System » Settigns menu, which you can find in the top left screen corner." But even this would be regarded some kind of "first-run" app... Honestly, I never liked the "Welcome to Windoze - have a tour around all the new bling!"-dialogs. klaus
