Re: [libreoffice-design] Welcome graphics for the Startcenter in 4.2

I imagine we could just go with something simple
likehttps://github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/raw/master/documents/documents-empty.pngor
perhaps even a simple label like the "No label" screen on
https://raw.github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/master/nautilus/search-wires.png
.
(If we go for the former, we should probably use the same icon, given that
our new icon sets will be extensions of Gnome's.)
What do you think?
