This is a one-off suggestion to emacs-devel, and y'all can do what you
want to with it.  Reply-To set to xemacs-beta where I plan to follow up.

The important implication of this is that window manager or init file
settings might leave the splash screen obscured.  That's not what
Richard wants.  David's particular configuration is not a big deal
(except to him), given the goal of this decision, but the complexity
of getting the splash screen on top is.

So how about giving them a [X] in the divider?  This lack is a UI bug
independent of the splash spiel.
