Description Nick Edgar CLA 2005-01-13 17:22:03 EST 
build I20040104

Looking at the code for openIntro, although it talks about checking the
saveAndRestore flag, it doesn't.  So the following could happen:
- new workbench
- show intro pref defaults to true
- intro is opened, and pref is set to false
- user exits (workbench state not saved)
- start workbench
- new window is opened 
- intro is not shown

It's probably worth decoupling the pref and the "already shown intro" flag.
The pref will let apps customize whether intro is shown at all, and the
workbench will keep the shown flag separately as workbench state.
If the workbench state is not saved, then only the pref will be considered next
time.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
