In the latest patch, the order is the following:
[Create New File] Visit new file.
[Visit Home Directory] Visit home directory.
[Visit *scratch* Buffer] Visit buffer for notes you don't want to save,
and for Lisp evaluation.
This seems good because [Create New File] is before [Visit *scratch* Buffer],
so when a writer starts writing a story, the first link to click will be
[Create New File], and not [Visit *scratch* Buffer], so he wouldn't lose
his masterpiece.

Clicking on [Create New File] pop-ups the File Open dialog in the same way
as clicking [Visit New File] in the File menu.

In the latest patch, the customization link points to the inhibit-splash-screen,
but later should be changed to customize `visit-on-startup'.
