To wrap up this thread...
Pieter's arguments win the day and we're going with a welcome note
displayed on startup in 0.6. I withdraw my contrary opinion, and we're
quite close to startup time goals (even on mac).
Cheers,
Katie

I think it is useful for a new user to see an already crafted item in
the initial view. It gives a focus and meaning to the context and
allows very simple discovery of significant parts of the UI (detail
view particulars of an event) that otherwise might take some futzing
around and some frustration before the user would see the same
richness of information.
It might save 3 sec. on initial startup, but might save several
minutes of the user's time jump-starting their understanding of
Chandler calendar functions. I vote to keep the initial event, even if
it slows things down on 1st start.
