They provide a fuller 'brand experience' for sure, but that's different from 'user experience' (former benefits us more than it would users.) The best user experience possible is applications loading up so quickly you don't need a splash screen to provide feedback that yes, the application is loading. But not much we can do to improve their startup time at this time. So a splash screen will be in those apps for Fedora 7. I would remind everyone many of the other distro's (Ubuntu/openSuSE/Zenwalk/Vector/and the list goes on) have decided to theme the splash screens of Open Office and Gimp. I do not know how they came to that decision but I believe they simply want to provide the best user experience possible. We need to be a leader, not a follower. Just because others are doing something doesn't mean it's a good idea. I like this attitude :) Some of those distros have reached nearly complete theme across the Desktop and the splash screen might as well make it more complete.
