    Sweeeeet!

    here's the screenshot (and yes I double checked the link was correct ;)

    I hope they know they can disable the splash screen, abiword starts so
    quickly the splash screen just makes things seem slower (although from a
    quick read of the mailing list they seem to have fixed the splash screen
    bug already anway).

    Hopefully they will be kind enough to send us occasional status updates
    and give EA Zen something to write about in his weekly nees.
