I also swapped two windows created after displaying the startup screen in Emacs started with a file name, i.e. now when Emacs is started on a window system with file name arguments, then the upper window displays the last file specified on the command line, and the lower window displays the concise version of the startup screen (without logo) plus the "Dismiss" button and checkbox. So the startup screen is less annoying now but still is visible, not indirect and persistent. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
