That doesn't seem to be a great idea to me unless your splash screen is only
displayed for half a second or so (but in this case, why would you need a
splash screen?). If the splash is displayed several seconds, there are good
chance that the user will do something else while your app is starting,
which means that the underlying desktop will change while your splash will
still display the old desktop state. That's enough for the user to think
that your program is buggy.
