My mistake, and one nobody noticed in the 3.2 beta phase. The original 
KSplash/ML author did not tie the progressbar to session restoration, and I

Showing/hiding the progressbar is controlled via a config option. I am talking 
about the "default" look.

I take it that there are no major objections.
