I doubt that most of our users use Nautilus or even GNOME. The current CVS version of The GIMP now properly supports startup notification and there's a command-line option to disable the splash.

Since it is rather broken at it is now, I don't want to see it as the default. Of course packagers are free to change the default if they are bundling GIMP for newbies That's as easy as changing one line in the system-wide gimprc. > 4.
