Issue Summary
It would be great if the main dashboard could substitute the admin (q=admin) page, then when an user (with permission to see the dashboard) logins the first page he see is the dashboard main page.

That's an interesting idea. Have you tried to create that functionality with a redirect from admin to admin/dashboard using the Path Redirect module or Glaobal Redirect module?

I've thought about it, and I'm not sure I want to implement this in the module yet for a few reasons.
First, the /admin area of the site is meant for the site architect, the one who does things like turn on modules. The admin/dashboard is meant for a different type of user, the content administrator, someone who manages all aspects of the site.
Second, As the module stands now the dashboard is fully fiunctional and ready to go after the module is enabled, and I like that. If I let people choose where the dashboard lives I'll have to add an intermediate step of having them choose the location of the dashboard BEFORE the default panel, page, and views are created.
I understand that the /admin page isn't used very much anymore, and will keep this request in mind for the future. For now, I'd like to focus on adding more control before the 1.0 release.
