What about advanced users?  I really want my notmuch front page to just
be a particular saved search.  The notmuch-hello looks neat, but I don't
really see myself ever using it, since I can access all the
functionality I need already.  All I really want from a front page is
the main search that I look at all the time ("tag:inbox and not
tag:deleted"), have it *not* close if I accidentally hit 'q', and a way
to pop back to it from wherever I am.  Could we make it configurable so
that the front page is either the hello page, or the special search page
I describe?
