Re: Initial splash screen is no longer displayed

[Richard M. Stallman]

It used to be that the startup screen was not shown if the startup
arguments visited a file, and perhaps it made sense to treat the starting
of a server like the visiting of a file.  But now the former is no longer
the case, and probably the latter should not be either.

Please try this patch.
