Sure. Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "dialog" since Dave was only asking for info.

Dave asked for board dimensions. I don't see this anywhere right now, but maybe I missed it.

Dave also asked for number of components. I don't see this anywhere, but it could be easily added to the message panel.

For the other items I thought of above:
1. Knowing how close the board is to being done (percentage of nets routed, for example) is always nice. Being able to see the Unrouted count is nice, but if it's not a small number a percentage of nets routed / total nets is more salient (IMO).
2. Since the DRC is a batch operation I don't see tremendous value now, but if v6 brings a "dynamic" DRC engine that will constantly check violations of design constraints then it would be useful to show current DRC and Unconnected count.
