Display a picture file as a poor-man's splash screen


I've got a script that gets called through a custom button on the taskbar. The script does not (and should not) run in terminal mode, and it takes a while. So when you click it there is no direct feedback.

I'd like to pop up a graphic as a "loading" kind of splash screen and then make it go away at the end of the script. I'm wondering if there is a good way to display a graphic file without having the normal window decorations associated with the desktop manager. A borderless picture I guess you could say.

Any help would be fantastic. Thanks.
