Hi Charlie,

In Fedora 10 there will be a new graphical startup program replacing
RHGB[1]. Its called Plymouth and it starts even earlier than rhgb. You
can see a demo of the current default fedora startup here[2]. The system
works on plugins to allow different styles of splash screens. To play
around with it I wrote a plugin which uses components of the InvinXble
theme and animates them. You can see a video of this[3]. It is still
work in progress but it does not seem too CPU intensive. I kept the
plugin pretty general so it should be easy to change it to suit any theme.
What I would like is some feedback as to whether something like this is
desirable.

I just saw your startup screen running on Ray Strode's machine and it is
really fantastic.
It'd be cool to see one with spinning gears for Gears, and one with
solar flares for Solar!
