      inhibit-startup-screen is a variable defined in `startup.el'.
      Its value is t
      Original value was nil

      Documentation:
      Non-nil inhibits the startup screen.

      This is for use in your personal init file (but NOT site-start.el),
      once you are familiar with the contents of the startup screen.

      You can customize this variable.

OK but where did I change it? After an hour of looking in all my files I
gave up.


      inhibit-splash-screen is a variable defined in `startup.el'.
      Its value is t

        This variable is an alias for `inhibit-startup-screen'.

      Documentation:
      Non-nil inhibits the startup screen.

      This is for use in your personal init file (but NOT site-start.el),
      once you are familiar with the contents of the startup screen.

      You can customize this variable.


Oh!

Better would be if checking either revealed the whole picture, and also
mention where the latter was changed (.emacs).
