I enabled debugging for the Plymouth daemon but it didn't really tell me much.
Looking at the documentation for Plymouth[1] and /bin/plymouth --help it looks to me like the display manager is responsible for telling plymouth to quit. However there isn't anything in the KDM init scripts to check and stop Plymouth on boot. Is the plymouth daemon supposed to exit to hand control of X over to the display manager? I can't determine what tells plymouth to exit and let the display manager take over. Keith 1: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Plymouth/
