This happens because the 'splash' window is actually
netscape's window, not xpdf's, so when it gets the focus
netscape is raised with it. [xpdf writes out the text to
stdout/err, and netscape feels obligated for some reason
to pop up a dialog showing it.]

The problem here is that a right-click is interpreted
by the menus as 'close this menu'. This is easy enough
to change if you look in Basemenu::buttonReleaseEvent.
(The Windowmenu code already supports right-click
maximize, it just never gets that far.)
