    The only good Splash Screen is a dead one.

    How about having no splash screen as an option and let everyone else stare at the pretty picture for N seconds. I have so many windows open that I don't need to have something else occupying my desktop. To me, splash screens are annoying like browser popups - which I haven't seen in months thanks Mozzy that also has the alias & shortcut command option of nosplash.

      As per the link in the mighty $'s post below, start gimp with
      gimp -s
      to disable the spalsh screen completely.

      There should be a universal standard for all application in the development community where the command --nosplash will disable splash screens.

      That's one way to force development to get Gimp to load as fast as possible.

    Most people don't really need it, but more than 8-bit per pixel color is coming soon. Next release (2.4) will add color management capabilities and the one after that (3.0), planned for the next fall, will add higher bit depth, layer effects and pretty much everything you want (all that because of the GEGL library intergration).
