Subject: bug#1309: no doc on how to avoid startup screen while still loading .emacs customizations

I don't see the link; must be in newer versions only. As an aside, the option doesn't seem to be working with my version. If I type 'M-x eval-expression', 'inhibit-startup-screen', I see 't' in the status bar, but I'm still getting startup screens. Here is the text from my startup screen:

(`C-' means use the CTRL key. `M-' means use the Meta (or Alt) key.
If you have no Meta key, you may instead type ESC followed by the character.)

The startup screen itself has a link to "customize startup", where the
second entry is "inhibit startup screen".
Do you think we should try and make it more prominent? If so how?
