Automatic sanity-testing: PASSED, see http://jenkins.bluematt.me/pull-tester/p4941_a49f11d9edf2f7dbce154ca370494a8f86e013d0/ for binaries and test log. This test script verifies pulls every time they are updated. It, however, dies sometimes and fails to test properly. If you are waiting on a test, please check timestamps to verify that the test.log is moving at http://jenkins.bluematt.me/pull-tester/current/ Contact BlueMatt on freenode if something looks broken.

Just after merging I realize that this makes it possible to close (using the corner X) the splash screen. The same is possible for the window shown on shutdown. This is not harmful in itself, but does still create a way to close the window without a way to bring it back. Probably should be disallowed at some point.

  26 | +    //setAutoFillBackground(true);

@laanwj Is this left in by intention?

We paint the entire background so it should not be necessary
