Tomi,

I was working on similar solution.. Basically it's done now, just need to
clean up the code a bit and push the solution to the repo.. My idea was to
let users (admins in our case) to be presented with the overview page the
first time they venture to admin area. Then they can opt not to see that
page ever again, but instead see another one of their choice. The idea was
in the air for long time now but the proper implementation only became
possible recently, after introduction of the user module variables (true
multi-admin environment).. So now every administrator should have own
preferences, without imposing his/her choice on the others. Each module
could also have 'Preferences' page where admin could configure the available
options to match his workflow and/or be able to 'Reset' to defaults.

Hope this solution would be sufficient and can be replicated in all
admin-capable modules in the near future.

Regards,

Andy.
