Even if there are other programs slower than Anjuta, I think it's quite 
slow.

When I first log in, I often start a few common programs, like several 
terminals, firefox, thunderbird, pidgin (I know that I could have 
started them automatically), and it often happens that one of these 
doesn't start because the GUI is a bit slow at that time and a click has 
been missed.

Else, when the computer is slow down, by example by some intensive 
calculation, I can click several times on one shortcut (I'm not 
particularly patient with computers) to start an application and end 
with several instances.

So I think it's better to have an immediate feedback with a splash screen.


Moreover I typically start all these programs, after log in, in 
different workspace. It would be nice if when the splash screen appears 
in one workspace the whole application stay in this workspace even if I 
have already switched to another one when it is completely loaded.


Note that I haven't used GNOME shell yet, it's quite possible that it 
makes a difference.

Sébastien
