It's not really intentional. I would like to show a splash screen when
starting a default session, but it is not really possible without
introducing a bad hack. I might try to "fake" a default session in the
future. That'll bring up the splash screen as well.

Anyway, since one usually start a default session only once, and
afterwards restarts a saved session, it does not matter that much :-)
