The Welcome dialog is already configurable using the XML layer. For purposes of the platform it would be nice if no folder for wlcome layer is found on the system filesystem the Welcome dialog won't be shown at all. This would make it possible to easily cofigure the welcome appearance using branding.
Target milestone was changed from '3.4' to TBD.
I think this is already fixed in 3.4, isn't it? If so, please marked FIXED/3.4.
Because Window System v1 will not be supported from now by our team, all old winsys issues (now "core/window system v1" issues) are going to be closed as WONTFIX. Changes in API which emerged both from UI spec and problems with adjusting to the older API are described in the document http://core.netbeans.org/windowsystem/changes.html. It shows also recommends how the client code should be adjusted to the new window system. If you think this issue apply also to the new winsys then change the subcomponent (to "core/window system") and REOPEN it.
issue doesn't apply to new window system - verified
