Finally! What a relieve! :-)
Being just a humble user of LyX (who actually largely prefers XEmacs
with AUCTeX/RefTeX), i probably deserve no right at all to speak out
on such matters but i just can't let this go by uncommented.
Angus is addressing a topic which is most annoying in recent modern
X11 applications: *Splash screens are evil* if you can't *easily* turn
them off as normal user. Splash screens just get into the way when you
wnat to keep working within another application while the one annoying
with it's splash screen is starting. This is a bad bad *bad* thing to
happen in a fine multitasking environment because it is severely
hindering it's well appreciated capabilities from a users point of
view.
