Neologism: Filibuster Screen
I propose the following new term: filibuster screen. It refers to an application splash screen, such as KDE’s or OpenOffice’s, which not only takes up a big chunk of otherwise-useful screen real estate for a long time while it starts up, but also ignores window manager hints so you can’t even move the bloody thing out of the way, thus preventing you from getting any useful work done.
I realize “filibuster screen” is a bit lame. If you can think of a better term, please say so in the comments.
