Re: [Bug-gnubg] Is the splash screen gone for good?

Christian,
		   I am using a Macintosh so I start GnuBG from Terminal.app or an 
xterm window. Bat files are Windows things right? I hadn't thought to 
try the -S option as it used to say "Don't" show gtk splash screen and 
I hadn't realized that it had been changed. Thank you for the 
explanation. Is there a way to set that option in my ~/.gnubgrc file?
