I was just pointing out that the initial poster was not entirely wrong
in claiming that the greeting screen was displayed every time you run
bouml, that can happen.

And even if displayed once every thirty times you load a project, being
forced to wait is quite annoying, and I'm pretty sure it accomplishes
the opposite of its intended goal: some people may make a donation if
asked nicely, and reminding them about it from time to time (in a
non-intrusive manner) probably increases the chance to get a donation;
but getting in the way of their work and forcing them to stare at the
dialog for five seconds... I think it will get most people annoyed and
not inclined to make a donation (and what about the users who did just
make a donation, and still get the reminder every now and then).

This is just my two cents, but it seems to me that the change I proposed
would benefit both the users and the main developer of bouml.

Cheers,
