Re: [Gimp-developer] multiple instances of splash winners

[Joseph Heled <pepster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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
