First.....after logging in is there any way to git rid of the panel that flashes across the screen. I know insignificant, but for some reason annoying to me.

Second...I would like to create my own boot splash. Could someone point me in the direction of a noob friendly how-to?

Press Alt-F2

Type gconf-editor

Go to Apps > gnome-session > options > show_splash_screen

Uncheck (or untick) the box.

Thanks!

Any idea on a good how to for the boot splash screen?
