Gnome splash Image

[Andreas Nilsson]

Hi Steve!
The reason that GNOME has a splash screen is because it starts up so 
slow that the user has to have something to look up while the system 
starts nautilus, the panel and other stuff. Other than that it mostly 
gets in the way of getting peoples work done. Imagine if your tv had a 
splash screen that appeared for 10 seconds when you turned it on. I know 
I would go nuts, because I don't want to know the name of the 
tv-manufacturer one more time, I want to watch CSI!
The splash will probably still be in the 2.16 release, but hopefully we 
can kill it for 2.18.
