Description Hakon 2004-01-07 00:44:03 UTC 
I have nothing against the splash screen, but I think it shouldn't be a
"always-on-top", instead it should be possible to place other windows above
it if you need to.
Added to that, is it not possible to let GIMP show up in the panel's
window_list_applet as soon as the splash is shown? That way you would be
able to toggle back visibility before GIMP has fully initialized, if you
have obscured it.
Comment 1 Manish Singh 2004-01-07 02:03:25 UTC 
The splash window doesn't set itself to be always on top. All it does is:

  gtk_window_set_type_hint (GTK_WINDOW (win_initstatus),
                            GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_SPLASHSCREEN);

Which is the right thing to do. If you don't want it always on top,
fix or change your window manager accordingly.

I don't really understand what you're trying to say in the second part
of your report.
