When Emacs (built from the cvs latest revision) is at the introductory
splash screen, normally you click the window, or type a key and the splash
buffer goes away.  But if you choose that buffer in the buffer menu instead,
you will get an empty buffer named "GNU Emacs".

I fixed this by changing the initial buffer to " GNU Emacs", thus
hiding it.  Thanks.

Shouldn't that be " *GNU Emacs*"?

Is this problem that the buffer "GNU Emacs" shows up in the buffer
menu?  I so, that change may be a sufficient fix.  But if the problem
is that the buffer ends up selected and not killed, I think it needs a
bigger fix.

Which one is it?

Normally, any input event kills the "GNU Emacs" splash buffer.
However, because the buffer name is not hidden, it shows up in the
Buffers menu.  That's why selecting this menu item causes firstly the
splash buffer to be killed, then a new empty "GNU Emacs" buffer to be
created.

I think the current fix is sufficient.

Now I agree.  Thanks.
