Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] New Wireshark welcome page!

Hi,

I have to side with Ulf on this one. This panel has to be user action 
oriented, like a launchpad for his/her most usual actions. That is what the 
items you list are for. Any additional information clutters the interface, 
which is not a good thing.

Thanx,
Jaap
