Currently, under Windows this frame pops up almost immediately, and then many seconds later, after much path grinding, it goes away and the normal frame appears. This frame could also be used for any messages prior to popping up the first frame, and eventually for moving the creation of the first normal frame till *after* loading the init file, which would make it extremely easy to customize the size of the first frame. (This is an *ooollllldddd* proposal from Arch. XEmacs.) BTW This "splash-frame" is a normal frame of the sort used in dialog boxes, with the added feature of having no title bar (the new `no-title-bar' frame property; only implemented on Windows currently, I need to get docs on the various ways of communicating with window managers under X to control the decorations. Can all of you X-ers go look up any docs on window managers you may have at hand and tell me what the tricks are? Also I'd like the names of the most common Window managers out there. Alternatively, maybe this should just be created override-redirect or something? DOes that make sense?)
