As far as I understand, this is supposed to be an ELPA package, but my understanding of splash screens is that they are displayed while an application is loading, to ensure the user that something is being done, or the computer didn't freeze. A spash-screen for the sake of it seems counter-intuitive, or am I missing something? -- Philip K.
