Although some variation of Albrecht's trick (putting a flag in your ::draw() method, so that you know that it has been called) will give you a hint that we have passed the image data to the X-server, and therefore that we have go to the point where the X-server might actually have mapped and displayed your data... Sounds worth adding anyway as a "confidence check" for the splash image, I think? -- Ian SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems Limited Registered Office: Sigma House, Christopher Martin Road, Basildon, Essex SS14 3EL A company registered in England & Wales.
