Che: Welcome page opens every time I start my workspace

[tsmaeder]

Describe the bug

Every time I restart my workspace, the welcome page is opened. My expectation is that this would only happen when I open the workspace for the first time. Once I've closed the welcome page, I want it to stay closed.

is it related to https://github.com/eclipse/che-theia/pull/168 ?

[tsmaeder]

Not really: I want the welcome page once and when I close it to stay closed. I don't want to have to configure this anywhere.

@benoitf It has been implemented in non-friendly way for the user. To disable appearing the Welcome page I have to configure preferences by hands. But why? I just want to uncheck 'Show this page on startup' checkbox on the welcome page, close and forget.

To add to this issue, I also do not need to see the README.md pop up over my open files every time a workspace is started.
