About time, too.

A splash screen should be configurable in some way. Ideally it ought
to be generated by the image! The *real* problem here is the whole "
if the time to show something interesting is a couple of seconds"
part. There really isn't much of an excuse for such a delay.
I don't think it would be appropriate to have a window of any sort
display when you are starting a Seaside server for example. Or
running on an IBM 3090. Or a signet ring.
