Description

Mac viewer does not open the Avatar Welcome Pack on the first session.

Reproduction steps

1. On a Mac,
2. Rename or delete the SecondLife folder that contains the user settings located at /Users/YourUsername/Library/Application Support/SecondLife
3. Start the 7.2.3.19375695301 viewer. It should have the appearance of a first time use of the viewer.
4. Log in.

Observed: The Avatar Welcome Pack does not open automatically.

Expected: The Avatar Welcome Pack should open automatically on the first session.

Note: This regressed only on Mac 7.2.3. The AWP opens as expected on Windows 7.2.3 and on Mac 7.2.2 viewers.
