I'm not sure what splashy shutting down or not has to do with these
other jobs. Splashy forks to the background and the boot process
continues just like it would without it. If in the end you have a ?dm
starting that would show that you boot process continued.

It would help of you know for sure what jobs are and which aren't
started. Maybe you can stick some test-scripts in your /etc/rc2.d
that write to a logfile to see where the boot process stopped.

BTW, you are not using splashy from initramfs, are you?
