[Qgis-developer] There is a way to eliminate the "Recent Projects" startup screen ?

[Michael Kirk]

I prefer the new "recent projects" screen as opposed to a blank screen
or opening my "last project".

As I bounce between a couple of projects from day to day, the list is
quite helpfule.

Ranked by frequency, I'd estimate my use cases as:

70% I'm opening the last project I worked on.
20% I'm opening a project I've recently worked on.
5% I'm starting a new project.
5% I'm opening a project I worked on a long time ago.

Even though I'm usually opening my most recent project, I still prefer
the list of my last few recent projects because I do use them somewhat
regularly, while getting my "most recent" is only one click away. 

So the pain of clicking once to get my most recent project 70% of the
time outweighs the risk of entering a file dialog 20% of the time.

And considering that in previous releases I had to enter a file dialog
100% of the time, this is a great improvement =)
