any way to fully remove whatever script interrupts the KDE splash?
I removed all the calculate-themes packages through emerge so it no longer has the boot up graphics, console graphics, or login graphics -- or even grub backgrounds (its just black now)
I was pretty much trying to rid the system of all custom-graphics loaders because I could not get rid of the penguin feet login background -- it would fight with KDE splash over what gets to use the x-server, resulting in one flashing over the other if you used any splash other than calculates.
since I was using splashes that included images I did not want to load another image in its place, commenting it out in the configs did nothing -- so I unmerged those packages as per the distro's instructions.
but now, the same thing still happens except with a blank blue background -- which is less obtrusive but still appears glitchy when the blue background flashes through like 2 times during the animation.
its not a major problem, but If I can totally remove whatever script is causing something to try and load at the same time as the KDE splash so that KDE has sole control of the x-server at that time, it would be a nice finishing touch on this install.
everything else is customized to the extent where its not even recognizable as calculate anymore - it pretty much just looks like vanilla. I probably will replace some of the images over time, but the one I just find annoying is the log-in one I mentioned.
