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. > But once you have a split-window display, it's not straightforward > to a newbie how to get back to the single-window he's used to So how about giving them a [X] in the divider? This lack is a UI bug independent of the splash spiel.
