For showing off Plasma features and allowing user to get more used to Plasma and it's features it should be possible to save the current layout and widgets and load another one.

The user could check out existing presets with corresponding documentation to see which workflow fits him most.

example myself:
I couldn't stand the current state of the panel (lost the kickoffbutton and two weeks ago couldn't get it properly placed) and just switched over to a totally panelless layout and use Ctrl+f12 for switching to the dashboard and alt+f2 to start my programs, using the cool application switcher from kwin makes for a totally different experience
very useful on the widescreen displays that are so "in" today

I bet there are other completely uncommon but totally usable settings a user could cycle through for getting used to plasma
