The assumption there was that the X-only splash appears so quickly that we 
don't need the startup notification any more ;-)  Unfortunately then we 
changed the order of fork/execing soffice.bin & showing the splash (fork 
immediately, instead of show splash immediately) which might really be 
problematic on netbooks...

And as oosplash.bin is X-only, we cannot use the Gnome/KDE[34] code for 
startup notification, we have to either use libstartup-notification again, or 
re-implement it in in oosplash.bin (IIRC the protocol is trivial).

Will it be OK for Moblin that the notification is taken care of directly in 
oosplash.bin, and not in soffice.bin?  Another thing, when to send the 'we 
are done' signal - when the splash appears [easy], or the OOo window [a bit 
harder, because we can get a dialog that needs interaction before we reach 
100%]?
