New description:

 Under settings / reading, the UI that allows to create a static front page
 should always be visible; and disabled until a static page gets published,
 along with a short explanation: "You need to '''publish''' a page if you
 wish to use it as your site's front page." Or something along those lines.

 The fact that the UI elements are invisible until they're useful confuses
 users who k ow where to look but a) have yet to create a page or b) forgot
 to publish it.
