    Bug 797507 - GnuCash Splash screen may disappear before the main window appears
    
    Bug 339876 complains that the splash screen is useless because the desktop
    environment should indicate that the application is loading. This is only
    partly true because the desktop environment can't indicate the progress
    made when the application takes several seconds to load. There is now a
    preference to disable the splash screen.
    
    Bug 350993 states that the splash screen should remain until the main
    window is completely ready (which it currently does). There's also a
    complaint that the splash screen is annoying because it obscures other
    windows. The solution to this would be to allow it to be moved or minimise
    it.
    
    Bug 366418 asks for the splash screen to disappear when clicked, without
    really explaining why (except that other applications can do it). This is
    the current implementation.
    
    Clicking the splash screen is effectively a temporary "disable splash
    screen" because it closes it. This avoids the "obscures other windows"
    problem but it makes it unclear what is going on because it actively works
    against the desktop environment by making it appear as if the application
    has exited.
    
    We can avoid that problem by minimising the splash screen instead of
    closing it. This is primarily a splash screen not a loading screen (and it
    can't be aborted, despite what closing it might imply). Without a redesign
    it will look odd for it to have a title bar.
    
    Minimise the splash screen when clicked instead of closing it early. It
    will then be possible to restore the splash screen window instead of
    losing it completely.
