Most of the information on the "Overview" tab can be moved to the "Transactions" tab. The existing Overview tab is inefficient at using screen space, and it has too much whitespace. I propose merging the two tabs into one tab called "Wallet".

I like the Overview; it shows me the information I care about (my balance and the last few transactions) and not the information I don't.
@gavinandresen I know it's to provide at-glance information to the user, and it's designed to be less busy than the transactions window. However, its use of space is very inefficient. I would like to either consolidate it with another tab, or reduce the window size so there is less whitespace.
Perhaps we can come up with an idea what is valuable enough to be added to the overview tab!?
NACK.
It is supposed to be this way. The overview page is supposed to be a sparse dashboard page that only shows what is needed for the end user. What's up with you people trying to cram everything together as if you paid a million dollars for every pixel? Whitespace is good.
I agree that it is mostly empty right now, but that's for lack of sensible things to put there. If you can think of anything that'd be useful for normal users to see when they open the client (or how to make it more "balanced" without cramming it full of debug info), feel free to suggest it.
