Gilles,

My suggestion is not to replace the setup dialog but just to add a wizard at first digikam run to take the user by hand and choose a default configuration.

As Daniel said in the mailing list or in bko, there is more or less two type of users : pro/expert users and the others. If you have a default configuration designed for the experts, 'normal users' and specialy beginners will think the application is not for them (they'll want the double click to open the viewer and not the editor, and so on ...).
So a simple first start wizard (there is one for first KDE start, if I remember well) will help.
In fact there is a beginning of first start wizard : the dialog to choose the folder where the photos will be.

And it could also be extended to let the 'Normal' user choose is camera. Like this with he will have his main options setup without having to search in the menues / dialog or the manual. Expert users won't need to be 'taken by the hand' like that so they'll choose 'Expert', their photo folder and they'll go to the normal setup dialog to choose their options.

  Loïc
