Are the messages on the splash screen useful?

[Ivan Timofeev]

Hi,

There is Bug 52268 - Splash Screen: Messages on first start displayed in
wrong colour in the wrong place
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52268

and what I want to do is to remove those messages. Is that OK? I cannot
imagine when the messages can be really useful. Moreover, messages come from

 commit 85c93f5779b0382769cf9dfb5a6306a018c17edd

     jl152 import 263447 from native0jl:#i77196#  Show progress on startup

i.e. only 2010, the API (SplashScreen::setText()) was there since the
first commit.

Regards,
Ivan
