Asking for a password during onboarding seems strange

[karalabe]

When I started up a pristine wallet, it asked me for a password that "I should protect like my house". This makes me think that this will be a master password for accessing the wallet. Of course this is actually only the password for an auto generated primary account. However this in very non obvious to someone who didn't actually write Mist.

I think that if Mist detects that there are no accounts present yet, it should offer the user to create one, making it clear that it's inserting a new default account. Further it should be clear that the password is for that new account. Lastly when the account is created, it should display a message that "Yo man: this is the account we've just created for you". Because in my experience, I had to wait two hours for Mist to sync up and whatnot to even see what I used my password on.

The on boarding is offering to create a new account, and it shows you right away the account number and identicon.

the condition for showing the on boarding is 0 accounts:
if (ethereumNode.isGeth && resultData.result && resultData.result.length === 0)
