That's really true. For this reason, it would be nice to handle icons
etc
in a cache file. Would improve startup time a lot (IMHO), aspecially for
diskless workstations... 

Another nice feature would be a mac-like startup sequence -> some icons
showing startup phase (althrough this would lengthen it). 

But no boring splash screens, please..

P.S.: [OFFTOPIC] Has anybody a clue, how to cure X from it's boring gray
                 screen, when starting (i would prefer black)?
