Bug Description

Binary package hint: gimp

When launched, GIMP is presenting a splash screen. This is very untypical Ubuntu behaviour, as LibreOffice is the only default Ubuntu application also showing a splash-screen - that bug reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/711035

Splash screen should be removed. Cursor loading icon is enough information for the end-user.

This is as easy or as hard as ensuring that the following parameter is used in any command that starts GIMP (by shortcut, context menu, ...):

-s, --no-splash
    Do not show the splash screen.
