     Hi John,
     
     I tried it in a testing environment. I could see the problem in KDE right
     away. I could see the problem in GNOME if I enable the startup notification
     with StartupNotify=true explicitly. So I guess there is something not 
working.
     
     
     Can you see the startup notification working by some hourglass or bouncing
     symbol in your environment?
     
     In my setup (debian testing) I can see the bouncing symbol which does not
     disappear.
     

I don't see that.  But then I don't use a "normal" debian environment.

I do remember years ago, when I first implemented the splash screen, there was a
similar problem where the appearance of the splash was interpreted as the start
of the application.   To fix that, we introduced the two calls to 
gtk_window_set_auto_startup_notification
in main.c and that fixed the problem (until now).

Maybe you could try experimenting with those two calls and see if it makes any 
improvement.
