If we are now going to include the 'User Interface' selection tab in the Welcome dialog like this, it must include the ability to apply to entire UI or just to the active module--but if no option, then should apply to the entire UI. And users can figure out the View -> UI Interface for each module. So, might help if the same 'Apply to All' or the 'Apply to %module%' as the 'User Interface...' dialog offers now on the View menu can be added as buttons to the welcome dialog.
This is the first time choice of the UI; it shouldn't have the same buttons and semantics as the voluntary dialog we open from the View menu. Rather - the choice on the dialog is what applies to all modules, when the dialog closes; and the "Apply" button is what users will have to see how this looks on the current module, before dismissing the first-time dialog.

But it does not, it is run once per-user profile set up and the toggle recorded to the registrymodifications.xcu in the FirstRun stanza. <item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Common/Misc"><prop oor:name="FirstRun" oor:op="fuse"><value>true</value></prop></item> Once toggled 'false' from any module, it will never show again unless user deletes profile or edits the stanza.

I'd be OK with that, but the Welcome's User Interface tab would need a localized note saying each module can later be adjusted from the View -> User Interface dialog. Also, dialog seems a little short of space when experimental features are enabled.

I feel that it is obvious that the choice can later be changed; but - I'm ok with such a notice. On the other hand - remember that the next time the user starts LibreOffice, they get the first TotD, which tells them how to change the UI. Do you believe we need both the notice and the TotD? > Also, dialog seems a little short of space when experimental features are > enabled. I didn't quite get that sentence, is this part of your reply to my comment #3? Which experimental features are you referring to?

Which experimental features are you referring to? No, rather an observation that as additional MUFFIN Notebookbar assemblages are implemented (or brought out of Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> 'Experimental Features'). Both the new Welcome dialog and the View -> User Interface dialog will need to hold the full listing.
