165752 - -(no)splash should override the system setting on OS/2

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Cmd-line Features, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826
Build Identifier: 

OS/2 has a system setting to allow splash screens by applications or timed
display of these. Mozilla on OS/2 seems to follow this system setting, but I
think if one gives -splash on the command line this should override it to always
show the splash screen, and -nosplash, so that the screen is never shown.

Reason: I have set the system setting to off (no splash screens), because all
application load so fast that there is not need for it. But Mozilla is by far
the slowest loading application I have, so there is a need to be "entertained"
while it loads.

Sorry, this went out a bit unfinished, because I expected to be able to edit it
once more before submitting.

It should actually be marked "enhancement" and "OS/2".

-nosplash already works. It always disables splash.

What you are asking for is -splash to override the operating system.

This patch does that.
