Comment:

 I've been thinking about the At a Glance functionality a bit after a
 recent project and liked the solution presented here. Here is my attempt
 at a patch (45035_patch.diff).

 * Added `at_a_glance` arg to `register_post_type` defaulting to
 `show_in_menu`.
 * Added `'at_a_glance'  => false` to `attachment` post type registration.
 * Updated `wp_dashboard_right_now` to pull post types by the new
 `at_a_glance` arg.
