How can I get rid of that pesky window Matlab opens for a few seconds
during startup? It drives me nuts! There doesn't seem to be a
documented way. (Mathworks, why oh why...)

I am using Matlab 4.0 (Aug 28 1992) with X on the Sparc.

The "spash screen" does NOT add to the startup time. It is put up
at the beginning of MATLAB's initialization and taken down
at the end.

It's actually used by the GUI widget set to figure out the size
of the borders on the window manager that you are using so that
the window can be positioned accurately.  X allows you to use 
a window manager of your choice and we do not know this ahead
of time.

It's nice that it doesn't add to the startup time, however it is
*still* intensely irritating. 

Intensely!
