[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 117463] Create a Dialog that shows up on first boot of Writer/Calc/Impress for the user to pick its default UI

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117463

--- Comment #37 from John Mills <jmills59@yahoo.com> ---
I am not entirely sure about what the negatives of an 'in your face dialogue'
are? Is it that we are making the end user 'uncomfortable' by providing them
the choice of how they interact with LibreOffice?

As part of the initial tip of the day dialogue would it be possible to have an
additional selection question along the lines of:

'Apply the UI choice to all supported LibreOffice Modules?'

Have a radio button for Yes and No, default it to no if needs be, however I
think it makes more sense that the selection the user makes is applied to all
of the supported modules for consistency and this updates the user profile
accordingly.

Kind regards
