[wellylug] Gnomes Splash Manager

[Rob van der Linde]

The gnome splash screen is what you used to briefly see when you just log into 
gnome while the user session was loading and on older versions of Ubuntu.  On 
recent versions of Ubuntu however they haven't used gnome splash screens for 
some time, which might be why gnome splash manager isn't working?

The startup screen you see now is called a plymouth theme, which starts much 
earlier in the boot process, before you even get the login screen.
