Can anyone remember or see what > purpose it has or had? `fancy-splash-screens' used to set it to the output of `startup-echo-area-message'. You removed that in revision 1.415 of startup.el (it was introduced in 1.215 by Gerd Moellmann). This is the ChangeLog entry: 2006-09-14 Richard Stallman * startup.el (fancy-splash-text): Change text to improve alignment. (fancy-splash-screens): Don't set non-standard tab width. Bind cursor-type temporarily, and make it easy to patch to preserve the splash buffer. (normal-splash-screen, fancy-splash-tail): Spell out "Meta-x". (fancy-splash-screens): Display echo-area message explicitly. Don't set fancy-splash-help-echo. Juanma
