Emacs splash screen when starting gnus

Emacs splash screen when starting gnus

[andrew]

Hi,

 I start gnus with the following alias in ~./bashrc:

alias gnus='emacs -f gnus'

but when I type 'gnus'in a Terminal window  I initially get the gnus
startup screen but then followed by the generic emacs startup screen.
Selecting this window manually with mouse rids me of this screen and
returne me to the gnus window.

Is there a way around this?

Hmmm... well I seem to have solved the problem with:

alias gnus='emacs --no-splash -f  gnus'

Is this the best way to do this?

Hello,

this behavior seems to be a new feature. To prevent it you can
set inhibit-splash-screen to t in your .emacs file

(setq inhibit-splash-screen t)

But note that the splash screen is the even gone if you open emacs
without a command of file aguemnt.

However the commandline switch has the same effect.

Cheers!
Sebastian

Thanks for this, I have added this line. I have a morbid loathing of
splash screens anyway :-)

Thanks very much for your assistance,
