Some programs begin by showing an extra little window typically with a header "Did you know" which lets the user browse a bunch of small hints and tips about the program.

Is there already such a widget in Qt? (Looked for QDidYouKnow, QStartupHints and a few more names I could think of to no avail)

No, but I think that would be a good candidate for the QtCentre programming contest. :)

Maybe I'll see what I can come up with. But don't count on me, sometimes I have good intentions that don't get fulfilled.

KDE has one --- KTipDialog AFAIK.

I have just implemented such a widget. But as I don't know if anyone wants to enter the contest (http://contest.qtcentre.org) with such a widget, I won't publish it now - I don't want to spoil someone's fun. If you're in need of such a widget, just send me a pm and I'll let you know where to download the code from.
