multiple instances of splash winners
Note/Disclaimer: I am *not* suggesting adding this "feature" into gimp. And
please don't tell me I am doing something wrong or stupid or degrading gimp in
any way or form.
I like many of the splash screens submitted, so I select a random one at
startup. If you wish to do the same,
- create a "gimp-splash" subdirectory under ~/.gimp-2.2
- place all your favorites there
- Apply the included patch (patch -p1 < rand-splash.diff)
- recompile gimp
