I don't think so. FilterEvent in camelot.cpp looks for a TLW being
created (it's looking for error dialogs including those from wxWidgets
as well as the main frame) as a signal to destroy the splash screen.

Delayed window destruction on GTK I expect. Or possibly timing of the
Event such that on GTK it is sent before the splash screen itself
has been created.

Try the fix in r1381. Thanks.
