Lori,
It's a good cleanup.

It's true that triangles were misleading, but no more little icons next 
to some of the choices?

Also, in the actual "Actions" section, there are also
- server dialog, in case multiple servers are defined
- Log out link
Where would you put these?

I'm not sure about putting "Change password" in Settings.

Also, someone on a discussion list was saying that this whole Home panel 
should not appear by default as it's not commonly used. However I wonder 
what should be there instead (this is configured in 
$cfg['DefaultTabServer']).
