Comment 8 for bug 438762

This bug was fixed in the package usplash - 0.5.40

---------------
usplash (0.5.40) karmic; urgency=low

  * libusplash.c: Move waiting out of dim_logo() into fade_logo(), so that we
    can use dim_logo() for asynchronous pulsating as well.
  * libusplash.{h,c}: Add pulse_logo() which lets the logo pulsate another
    step, using dim_logo(). If pulsating is enabled, call it in usplash.c's
    do_animate() function, which is already called regularly through a timer.
  * usplash.c: Do not fade out logo when pulsating is enabled, since it looks
    ugly (fade out always starts at full brightness). Doing this more smoothly
    requires some reorganization/merging of the fade/dim logic and state
    keeping.
  * usplash.c: Add option --pulse-logo which enables logo pulsating right from
    the start. Document it in usplash.8.
  * usplash.c: Add new command PULSELOGO which starts logo pulsing. Document
    it in usplash_write.8, and also refer to it in usplash.8. (LP: #438762)
