Well, i love the splash for new users, but I always disable it, since
Abi starts faster than the time the splash is displayed.

As far as I can see, this is a relic from the Abi 1.0.x era. Please
someone correct me if I'm wrong. AFAIC you can remove this.

No, but when you don't have the render extention, it can be _really_
slow. 2 weeks back this issue came up on the user mailing list, and
disabling it solved the slowness problem for some users. So please keep
this.

Because we have a lot of plugins, and I've seen abi start on debian for
example in > 5 sec, which is quite insane for abi :)
But i'm not against removing it. We should have a better system anyway
(maybe more like gnumeric).
