Laurent,

Splash Window is a regular window. In X terms it translates to a window
which has "override_redirect" attribute set to 1, so window managers don't
put an ornament around it.

Gtk Windows are not really your regular windows, they are far more complicated,
and usually consist of few X Windows.
