As I already replied to Carsten's message on kde-commits it's probably 
possible to get an estimate for the remaining time that's needed for 
folder listing. Then the splash could be suppressed if the folder 
listing appears to be finished in less than another 500 (?) msec. OTOH, 
getting a good estimate is maybe not possible.
