The splash screen remains until the application has registered to the
session manager. This is how it was designed.

The session manager is not just starting applications. It is managing
them with the XSM protocol, which, as it was designed, doesn't allow for
handling applications that crash *before* registering to the session
manager.

This is an entirely different matter. I'm working on this with
debreaper, so that even applications not linking to libgnomeui report
their crashes to the user and the BTS.
