A suggestion for a compromise:
Have a minimal welcome screen that says something like
"Starting GRASS GIS in location X, mapset Y"
nothing else, no list of all the available locations and mapsets
Only two buttons: OK, Change
Make OK the default, Change will bring up the current welcome screen.
That sounds nice!
And let the "Change" lead to a series of simple, yet distinct, 4 steps
to create:
1) Location (define the SRS, best by getting it from georeferenced
data, if available)
2) Propose to import data in the PERMANENT Mapset, and shortly and
clearly inform about PERMANENT vs. Other Mapsets
3) Propose to adjust the Extent & Resolution to the imported data, if
available. If not, propose to either manually define them, or give a
global map to draw on an extent?
Well, 3 steps. Or something like that.

The user has then just to hit enter and GRASS is running. This would
reduce the (confusing) amount of information on the current welcome
screen. It would also give more space for a little graphic ;-)
Location and mapset can be taken from GISRC, if that does not exist,
create a new GISDBASE in the user's home, put the demolocation in it
and use this (I think the wingrass installer is already doing that).
