From a technical point of view I wonder how much slower this will
make
login time. "If we still have a splash screen in ten years, we have
done
something wrong." (I think I quoted dobey here.)
Also wondering if this would annoy me when I log in for the, say, 30th
time.
Inclined to agree-- might be worth showing once per user, though, like
the "Welcome to OSX" sort of thing that Apple do. After that,
probably just leave it somewhere that people can find it again, if
they want to.
Could be interesting to use this sort of technology to do a GNOME
desktop tour video, though, especially if it was updated to highlight
the coolest features in each release :) (Although one problem that's
always existed with that idea is that not all distros ship all GNOME
features, and/or add their own...)
Cheeri,
Calum.
