In Onion Circuits we have a messages saying "Click on a circuit for more
detail about its Tor relay".

In Online Accounts GNOME, below the button "Add an online account" there
is a message saying "Adding an account allows your applications to
access it for documents, mail, contacts, calendar, chat and more."

It looks a lot like our scenario: people might start Tails Server
without knowing what it is and we could use this empty space to be
helpful for them. Once they added a service they don't need that
information anymore. But they can still get it back if they remove all
the configured services.

Online Accounts looks quite a lot like what we are trying to do. It has
a similar layout and a list of possible accounts when you click on "Add
an online account".
