Well, I didn't really make the splash screen go away, I removed the option 
that enabled users to make the splash screen go away. The result was that 
people couldn't get rid of the splash screen anymore so quite the opposite.

Your proposal would probably reduce the irritation of the current splash 
screen a lot. Please go ahead and make that change as far as I'm concerned.
