Quickbooks forces the user to run through a New File druid before you
can play with its features.  I believe Quicken might do something
similar (but I haven't verified that).

I think providing this startup druid that would, e.g., let businesses
fill in default settings, would be a Good Thing.

I'm happy to split that bug into two; I still think we should force the
user to have a backing-store, but I understand why you disagree.
