Bug Description
When someone finishes the new account creation process, Launchpad returns them to whichever page referred them to the sign-up.
This is unhelpful. At the very least, Launchpad should use a message box to suggest the next steps someone takes - e.g. adding branding, writing a home page message, setting time zone, etc.

If someone creates a Launchpad account for the purpose of using ShipIt, their "branding", "home page", timezone, etc in Launchpad won't be relevant. Same goes for if someone creates a Launchpad account so they can buy something from the Canonical Store: making people think they had to faff around in Launchpad would cause some of them to give up, reducing Canonical's revenue.
So, probably we should do this just for (a) people who sign up unprompted, and (b) people who return to Launchpad after having signed up.
