Public bug reported:
Related to bug #1577641, we may want to improve the way the splash
screen logic is implemented.
The shell-managed splash screens serve as a way to provide immediate
feedback for an application being launched, so that the user doesn't
need to find out whether they failed to launch the app or the app's just
slow to launch (or maybe even crashed on startup).
My proposal is that:
- we delay showing the splash screen for a very short interval (50ms to start
with?)
- *if* the splash screen is shown, it has to be shown for at least a certain
time (500ms?) to avoid "flicker" between the splash screen and the app surface
- if possible, let the user know that the app crashed/exited with an error and
give the user an option to restart or close (long-term maybe also report the
issue?)
