I was looking in a cleanup of the preferences dialog. I didn't just remove the 
option, but after a query on the mailing list. Having received 0 responses, I 
considered no-one used the option so it could go. Only after it was removed 
people started complaining. So I put it back.

I still think such an option is superfluous. The main complaint was not about 
having a splash screen, but that it insisted in being in front of everything 
else. Since John just fixed that problem, the option could possibly be 
unnecessary again. But I'm not into reorganizing the preferences right now, so 
I won't change anything right now.
