IMO a splash screen makes no sence if the user wants to find out the
version number. He would see it sometimes after installing a new kde
version. Then he get nerved by it and turns it off. Some weeks later he
needs to know the version but doesnŽt remember what was written on the
splash screen anymore. So: turn splash on and restart kde!

Anyway, the only places that makes sence to me are the ŽAbout KDEŽ box
and the kdehelp main page
