Well either you have click to close or no splash at all because topmost is not an option :P Unless of course you give the splash window borders - GIMP does this and it looks okayTom

Don't want to change opinions anymore (or do I want to ? ;)) but just
want you to know; This usability I told about has nothing to do with

You're right; at the moment I'm not on Linux but anyway I think this splash

if we do have a splash screen, make sure its one that you can hide by
clicking (maybe even have a little hide link on it) or that other
apps can go over, because splash screens that stay on top of
everything are FUCKING ANNOYING and I would hate for amsn to become
something people hate to run

Really, splashes are bad, are so '90s and I won't like to see amsn use
it. You better make your app show the main window as quick as possible
(maybe this can be finetuned a little more), as a feedback to the user
the app

that's not a bad idea at all; you may make the main window a splash...
With this I just mean all the thing a splash would do show an image,

So these 5 (just a guess) values from the config pose the problem ? (X,
Y coordinate, width, height and language) I don't know how well this
solution blends, but yet another splash screen is bad IMHO. As we
already have
If that config parsing appers to be a problem, we can always move
the 'needed early' config like those positions into a special config
file which becomes loaded first. We can show the window then, and
proceed loading the rest of the config, and do whatever we need to.

Or ... an earth spinning? :) Or something that will show the user that the
program is alive. I agree with the idea: as long as it's moving, it's

ok..
sorry I couldn't answer earlier...
first, Thanks Karel for sharing your ideas... and NWM/harry/vivia for this
thread.. but I just think it's useless talk...
Karel, I understand what you're saying and you might be right about the splash
screen not being effective... but how much
