I don't think it needs to be hidden by some wizard. Perhaps a wizard for
transports and selecting the pubsub node for your avatar and anything
else will be needed in the future. I suppose that could fall under the
new account wizard that still needs to be done.

The only other design I've seen for a disco dialog is Exodus' (i think)
in which it uses an icon view instead of trees. I dunno if this would be
easier or not to a newbie. It does reuse any ideas Aunt Tilly may have
picked up in Explorer/Finder/Konqueror though, especially considering
that those apps hide the tree views from them.
