reopen 358664 !
thanks

Quoting previous mail:

    This bugreport is closed upstream
    http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1460937&group_id=6488&atid=106488
    as stated before in
    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=358664
    you can disable the splashscreen with:
    Konfigurator -> Startup -> unchecking the splash screen.

Let me recap:

- Krusader is standalone program than can be used without KDE
- In this case no KDE is installed.
- Starting the program in PII/500 standard Debian installation,
  Laptop with IDE/4500rpm 

=> The system is completely unusable with the splash screen being
displayed while the program is startin for *several* *several*
minutes. It occupies fair amount of pixels in standard 1024x768 laptop
display

This is clearly a serious usability problem. I do not see reason why
user is forced to to look at a marketing slogan fo such a long period
of time:

        Krusader, simple, easy, powerful

This really should be fixed by not showing any splash screen unless
user requests such marketing slogans.

Repoening - and do now tag with "wontfix" just to hide this problem.

If KDE people are unresponsive, then Debian amaintainer should write
local patch to remove the intrusive screen.
