I'd suggest to _not_ automatically pick the xdg path, but just suggest it 
(ppl. could manage their music like whatever) and during the collection scan 
there should be a small tour to show off the non obvious advances of amarok 
(e.g. explain dynamic playlists, that and how you can attach to an xternal 
mysql server., the internet services)
This could be realized by having the context view taking the entire lower 
area, displaying the wp widgetoid and reference to amaroks wiki.
when the tour is over, the default layout sets up and the wp plasmet is the 
only content of the context view, explaining (and example) that more thingens 
can be added to this location.
When the user plays the first track, the wp starts doing it's normal business.

Oh, and there *shall* be a skip button for the tour ;-)
