I believe that I made this change in a (failed) attempt to fix a bug
reported in bugzilla (the exact bug number eludes me right now) where the
abiword splash screen shows up on all of the viewports (evolution shares
this bug). Personally, I like the new behavior, but others are free to
disagree of course. --nosplash is always an option too.

I would be more choosy about what you call "brain damages." These two points
are wholly unrelated and extremely different in both nature and severity.
Perhaps in this case, it would be useful to take a look at
