I'll offer an opinion on this.
Some are going to tell you not to have a "splash screen", but I like  
to throw my company name and a fancy logo in front of the user at start.
Be sure to allow your "splash" to be dismissed with a click.
I just make the splash the default window and then go to the first  
screen when the splash times out or is dismissed.
Also, my observation (no hard evidence) is that the full screen  
splash is passe. Use only the screen real estate you actually need.
Just my .02
