The Welcome Tab is a great place to put site updates and news information.
The challenge is that the Welcome tab is no longer the tab that has focus if the user has auto loaded apps. Therefore, they actually never actually see the Welcome tab unless they click on it. Not really ideal if you want them to always see the Welcome tab.
I resolved the situation by modifying valence-3.1\html\portal\core\portal_desktop.html
With this change, the welcome tab is shown after the autoloaded apps are completed. IMO, this should be the default behavior of the portal or at least it should be a configurable option.

Code:
window.tabPanelMain = Ext.create('Valence.vvTabPanel',{ activeTab: 0, region: 'center', cls: 'vvTabPanel', lockTimeout : this.lockTimeout, appParm : this.urlParms.app, showWelcomePage : (this.urlParms.portal !== 'false' || this.urlParms.welcome === 'true') ? true : false, welcomePage : this.welcomePage || '/vvresources/welcome/welcome.html', listeners : { apploaded : function(o){ if (o.autoStart){ portalObj.updateAutoStartProgress(); Valence.tab.showTab('welcome'); //**** NEW LINE ADDED TO DISPLAY THE WELCOME TAB } },
