You're right, something fishy is going on. I did not notice it yesterday
late, but when I recompile lazarus the splash actually dissapears and then
shows again. But if I start startlazarus from terminal lazarus seems to
fire up that quick that I don't notice the dissapearing of the first
splash.
So that's back to the drawingboard for me. I will try to fix it and
resubmit, unless someone say's it's a waste of time. As said I figured it
out for an app of mine that's why I made this trivial enhancement.
