Thats it, I have been looking for a splash screen application that can make a splash appear since my login begins with SLIM and that disappears once all startup applications have been loaded.
I tried plymouth, but I think it cannot be used for this purpose.
Any recommendation for this? Thanks.

Do you mean you want a splash screen from the time when you complete logging in with Slim to the time the desktop has finished loading? If that is taking more than just a few seconds then I suggest you change desktops to something lighterweight. Mine takes about 2 seconds (wmii) - not even enough time for a splash scree!. Are you using KDE or Gnome because I believe you can set a startup splash with both those DE's . Check their documentation. Also, show us your ~/.xinitrc .

I am using Compiz Standalone and the startup takes up to five seconds because I have 8 different 1920x1200 wallpapers set in the wallpaper plugin.
Any splash application suggestion is welcome.

There is a compiz splash plugin : http://gitweb.compiz.org/?p=compiz/plug … ;a=summary
but I don't see it in the AUR so I guess you'd have to package it up and install it yourself.
But honestly I don't see the point as you would just be increasing your boot time even further loading the splash!
