The problem is that suppresses the splash screen unconditionally, whereas
I at any rate like to see the splash screen if Emacs is started without
specifying a file. I asked a question similar to the OP's a while ago,
and got the following suggestion for .emacs from Sven Joachim:
(when (> (length command-line-args) 1)
(setq inhibit-splash-screen t))
(There were other more complex suggestions from other people, but the above
works fine for my purposes.)
