I'd like to see Open Location explained on the Welcome page as well. I think that Explorer's potential as a repository browser/history viewer is undersold.

I think some documentation/hint about what to do with this window is necessary. Perhaps with a little work we can get an 'echo "Interact with the command-line Bazaar client here. See "bzr help" to get started."' into the terminal at some point.

   This dialog makes it easy to set things up in commonly used
   ways. It also automatically opens the created location on
   completion.

This is GRRRReat! I hope that the experience with this dialog can feed back into the post-2.0 UI re-think for Bazaar. I know that it's hard and confusing to see all of those choices, but at least they are a reasonable (and finite!) list of choices.
