In your _init() function, do

        gtk_window_set_type_hint( GTK_WINDOW( splash ),
                GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_SPLASHSCREEN );

Are you setting GtkWindow as the parent class in your type creator?

That's from a rather old tutorial, better to use:

        while( g_main_context_iteration( NULL, FALSE ) )
                ;

Yes, should work fine.

Here's the splash class from my app, for what it's worth:

search for 'splash'.
