Bad default GUI font and unneccesary configuration dialog



Two issues:

  The default font for the GUI and documents should be a font depended upon by
  x-window-system-core.  On my system Times, which is completely unsuitable
  for GUIs (having much serifs and poor character spacing), was used by
  default.

  Also, at first time startup, a completely unneccesary dialog regarding
  something called "Address Data Source AutoPilot" pops up and forces you
  to select one of three choices of where your current address book data is
  located.  The list of possible sources is far to incomplete (only lists
  Mozilla, LDAP and "Other external data source") to be useful for most
  users.  Also, since it automatically pops up the first time you're starting
  up, it seems like it's absolutely neccesary to answer the questions
  correctly, and that the application cannot run without these questions being
  answered.  For the sake of "usability", I suggest that this dialog doesn't
  pop up automatically, but rather when the user requests it in some way or
  another.
