Hi to all.
>From 3 days I am playing with splashy and it seems quite stable but...
There is not the code to see if something goes wrong: if a sh scripts
fails to load splashy does not go to verbose mode.. why?
Because splashy now works with a pipe and not with a direct reading from
vcs1.
To solve this we need to read from the terminal and here can start a
discussion: what sense does have the pipe? If we always need to read
from terminal to find error why use a pipe? IMHO using a pipe + a reader
the used time will increase.

There is also a little bit issue: splashy is stopped one seconds before
gdm is started and i see screen for one seconds: I'll investigate on
that.
