 Here are the presentation niggles I've noticed in the new Welcome page
 (#1713):
 * ~~The red bullet for an unconnected introducer or helper may not
 indicate clearly enough that it is unconnected. I suggest, since this is
 an error condition, "Introducer not connected" or "Helper not connected"
 in large type.~~ Fixed.
 * The nickname and node ID at the top right may not be prominent enough; I
 didn't notice them at first.
 * The left-hand sidebar could be narrower, or alternatively the fields
 could be extended to use its full width. This depends on the horizontal
 window size; for narrow windows the sidebar becomes too narrow for the
 fields.
 * Some page elements overlap if the window size is too narrow (see
 comment:17).

 These also existed in the previous Welcome page:
 * If there is only one storage server, then "Connected to 1 of 1 storage
 server''s''" is ungrammatical.
 * In the list of package versions, a package and its version can be broken
 across lines. The list could also be made easier to read by different
 styles for package and version number.
 * ~~'Create a Directory' is an immediate operation. Should it have the »
 symbol indicating that?~~ fixed

Comment (by tarcieri):

 To fix the introducer furl wrapping, add:

     .furl {
       word-wrap: break-word;
     }

 To the existing ".furl" CSS selector
