Package: splashy Version: 0.3.13-3 Severity: normal Hi,
When splashy is used with file-rc[1], I observe the following behavior: - splashy shows the splash screen - file-rc starts up services - eventually, kdm is started - the splash screen remains shown - we now have a kdm process and a splashy process (with three children) - the splash screen remains shown - after some time, the splashy process vanishes - the splash screen remains shown which results in a system that cannot be logged in to via the console. Restarting kdm seems to do the trick, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't (so the splash screen also captures the keyboard). The observations above were done via ssh. I know that the real fault is with file-rc here, but shouldn't splashy remove itself upon timeout? In this case, this would at least eventually result in a useable system.
