A matter of taste, of course, but I don't mind the extra line below the picture. > Another question is whether installing extra packages is indeed > something to be shown on the splash screen, i.e. a newbie will see it > as long as he/she doesn't disable it. The splash screen is a way to advertize the "World of Emacs" to users: IMHO a resource like ELPA fits well with other external resources like the GNU/Linux page. To align the message with the menu entry, the link can say "Manage Emacs packages" while the description would say "Install or uninstall additional Emacs packages". -- Bastien
