There should always be an option to disable splash screens, though. For
instance, I often administer my server using VNC or other remote control
software (Timbuktu is my favorite, actually). There, splash screens are
really annoying because they cause more screen clutter and waiting time when
connecting over a not-so-fast internet line.
