Note that this line is making a *second* Gtk.Window, in addition to 
your Splash window, which is probably not what you want.  (You don't 
see it because it is never shown.)

I assume you're trying to chain constructors.  This is unnecessary in 
this case.  If you needed to do this, the syntax is 'base();' or 
'base.from_something(something);'.  But for the case of Gtk objects and 
others, this won't work.  Instead, you'd need to use GObject 
construction; see for details:
