Maybe this suggests the "incremental improvement" needed:  Have the
installer, by default, add a shortcut icon for IDLE to the user's desktop.
Perhaps this will get noticed.  If it does it would put the new user into a
program where they might actually start doing something useful.  The person who does
not want such a desktop shortcut can uncheck that default option.
