New Revision: 10637

URL: http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/relax?rev=10637&view=rev
Log:
Completely changed how the splash screen is displayed on program start up.

A new wx.App class has been created for relax for showing the splash screen 
(through
wx.SplashScreen) and then a delayed building and showing of the main GUI 
interface.
