I looked briefly at the changes to the web UI (which are mainly in
<http://git.repo.i2p.to/w/grid-updates.git/blob/master:/share/welcome.xhtml.patched19>),
and they look like something we want to have in upstream Tahoe.
Actually, they almost exactly implement
<https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1369>.

Can you attach your patches to tahoe.css and welcome.xhtml (for 1.9.x)
to that ticket? Am I correct in thinking those are the only patches needed?
