Good reason!
I would suggest that
1) disable the launcher autohide at least initially
2) change the workspaces available from 4 to 2 (single row)
3) Put a folder called something or other on the desktop so it can be
clicked on and used immediately
I am in a steep unity learning curve myself and as you know I am in
contact with a lot of not always youthful newcomers.
Comments:
1) has been an immediate relief for me and I do not think newcomers
will welcome autohide.
2) Personally I use 6 workspaces and I have now configured for a
linear display - single row not multi row, and for a newcomer, simply
reducing from 4 to 2 (single row) will enable a simpler concept of
workspaces which are a mystery for newcomers anyway.
3) Many people I see have a desktop and or inbox which seem more like
a landfill site than anything, so an actual Folder sitting on the
desktop, an invitation to put stuff in it in the old fashioned way,
will I think give a significant added comfort factor
Good luck
