 The welcome panel (#11651) takes up most, if not all, of the dashboard
 whilst visible. Unfortunately for users without JavaScript it is currently
 impossible to dismiss it (via the UI).

 Quick patch is to hide the dismiss links when no-JS. This would be like
 #17766, but this time it's a screen filling panel and not a smaller
 metabox that cannot be dismissed.

 Another quick patch is to hide the Welcome Panel when no-JS. This kind of
 sucks.

 Also attached is a quick attempt at probably the best solution: no-JS
 dismiss fallback. This is a GET handler in wp_dashboard_setup() to hide
 the panel if requested which is acted upon when visiting `index.php?action
 =dismiss-welcome-panel`.
