We don't need no stinking badges(splash screen). 
:-)
It's purty but other than a brief confirmation that xfsm is
running, it has no value.  Right? So do not worry about it.

The way it works is good, IMO => no saved session=no
splash; saved session=spalsh.  
Besides, I would really hate it if it got to be like Gnome,
or worse, KDE: I always think, JHFC, load the D! ap and
quit telling me that you are going to load it! Just do it!
Do it now!!  ( Obviously, KDE and I are on about the same
terms as with MS WinXX - i only use it when I must, which
these days boils down to just kpackage and that as
sparingly as possible because it still crashes for the,
IMO, strangest reasons. )
Xfce probably spoiled me: I expect things to load "now"
because since I began using that fine piece of programming,
I know that they can.

Have A Great Day!
