When starting LyX, it becomes unresponsive for over 40 seconds because I
have a couple of (probably complex) documents open on the session and my
computer isn't the fastest.
I think it would be preferable to show something that lets the user know
that everything is fine and what LyX is doing. Something like a splash
screen instead of an unresponsive window. I know that it would be better
to get LyX start faster instead but I guess there are limits and also in
the meanwhile a splash screen seems preferable to me.
