New description:

 I watched someone (Dan Shoutis) use Tahoe-LAFS for the first time, using
 the WUI, and he was uncertain/confused about whether a created directory
 would be linked to from an extant directory or not. Currently there are
 two buttons in the WUI to create a directory. The one on the Welcome Page
 is labelled like:

 * label: "Create a directory"
 * button: "Create a directory"

 and the one on the directory page is labelled like:

 * label: "Create a new directory in this directory"
 * label: "New directory name: " [text entry field]
 * button: "Create"

 Let's change this so that the Welcome Page has:

 * button: "create an unlinked directory"

 and the directory page has:

 * label: "create a directory and link to it from this directory"
 * label: "new directory name:" [text entry field]
 * button: "create"

 Opinions?

 (By the way I deliberately changed capitalization because sentences should
 start with a capital letter and end with a punctuation mark and sentence
 fragments should do neither.)
