Okay we are getting there but some other changes need to be made to get the 
dialog to look like what is spec'd on the wiki.  Here they are:
-title of dialog should be Welcome, not that url string currently there
-remove the ptolemy icon in the title bar
-remove the menu bar
-remove the scroll bars and size things so no scroll bars are needed.
-the border/background around the inner square should be as spec'd on the wiki
-the logo should be aligned as spec'd on the wiki
-remove the links to User's Guide and Workflow Cookbook since those won't be 
ready for release 1.0
-remmove the min/max controls in the title bar
-up the font size a little to look like wiki
-align the indented text under the "E" in Welcome
-make the checkbox "checked" as the default

And just to note, we still have some timeing issues going on.  This is what I 
measured when launching Kepler this moring:
-command window appeared
-5 seconds elapsed before initialization window appeared
-init window remained for 20 seconds then disappeared
-25 seconds elapsed before main window and welcome window appeared 
simultaneously
