Hi I have the same problem. I have upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid - Startupmanager worked fine before the upgrade.
Running Startupmanager shows no errors and I can set different splash screens from within the gui. However, all splash screens (except the default one shipped with Intrepid) fail to be displayed at boot-up. All that is seen at boot-up in the boot text (showing services started, etc). I have looked in the relevant directories where the .so and link files files are stored and I can see them being successfully changed when Startupmanager is run. However, they are still not being displayed at boot-up. The only difference between the .so files I have noticed is that the original .so shipped with intrepid is 2.5MB, whereas the .so files I am trying to use are 1.7MB. Not sure if this is relevant but thought it best to mention it. Also, the icons associated with the .so files are different when looking at them through Nautilus. I would have thought that they would look the same, as they are the same type of file, but I'm not sure - just thought I'd mention it. I have attached a screenshot to show you what the icons look like.
