The obvious (but more difficult) would be to read all startup lisp before 
creating the first frame.  Or create an initial frame (like a splash screen), 
and then replace it with a proper "editing" frame.

What I had in mind was a modeless frame with the Gnu logo and one line of text 
from *Messages* at the borrom.  When startup is complete, then create a proper 
frame with tool bars, menus and such.  Of course there are special cases to 
handle, like debug on startup, errors in ~/.emacs and such.

Another way is to forcibly resize the frame after all startup code has been 
read and the value of `tool-bar-mode' is known.  I think Emacs used to do that 
before.  But it looks ugly.
