-Background: this is intended to be the initial 'Home' module when slicer starts up (expert users can override this by setting the Home to their favorite module).
+'''Background:''' this module is set as Slicer's default startup module unless a user checks the box (in the User greeting panel) to supress this behavior. If the option to show the welcome module at startup is de-selected, Slicer will display the user-specified '''Home''' module on startup. The Data Module is selected as '''Home''' unless a user explicitly chooses another module.
