Actually, I do not want to spoil your day, but dashboard module is the future. Let frontpage module die. It has served its time, we now have something FAR better. :)

Roger that. Dashboard+Views+Insert Views+Node Queue = Greatest acheivement in all of human history. Er, actually that's an exaggeration, but at the very least try the combo on 4.7 and you'll end up saying to yourself "my god, what a kick ass alternative the frontpage module, or custom coding!" Besides, I think a frontpage is too complex and diverse of a requirement to effectively tackle with one standalone module. Better to combine lots of simple THEREFORE easy to maintain-and-evolve modules, than attempt to create a bloateriffic one-shot-5-kills module. Of course, like socialism, that's a good idea that shouldn't be taken to ridiculous extremes as observed with one ::cough:: enewsletter module. Best, Nick Lewis http://nicklewis.smartcampaigns.com

Hey peeps,
Since Gerhard was thinking the module isn't maintained, I thought I'd stick a comment here on the list.
Currently, when you install the front page module, you have to go and change:
admin > settings > "node" to "front_page" if you want your stuff to show up.
To us "dorky end users", this is quite confusing. I would suggest that there is something inside the: admin > settings > front_page area that says:
[x] Enable this option site wide.
Help text: *** Warning, if you enable this, when people visit: your_drupal_site.com they will see what you have put here on this front page form. To change this action back, simply disable this option.
--- This would then actually go set node to be front_page -- ...
What do you guys(gals) think?
Easy to do, the option is just set via variable. You can even be smart on the form and look at the variable, and put up text saying "front_page isn't currently set as your default front page" like web browsers do, and not show the checkbox at all (or even a nice happy "front_page is set as your front page!") message.
