Package: splashy
Version: 0.3.2
Followup-For: Bug #410438

I have the same problem here: a few pixels on top of the screen show
what looks like a blinking cursor when booting with splashy. I tried
using kdm, gdm and xdm, none solved the issue.
My normal login (autologin via rungetty and startx at the end of my
.bashrc) also shows the same corruption. Switching to VT1 and back
removes the corruption.
I think splashy is not stopped in time, even though it surley should be
done by the time you log in. No logs show any sign of hint about the
issue, but once I got a timeout-message from splashy after switching
terminals.

Thanks for this great piece of software, it is the first splash that
actually works flawlessly on a dm-crypted system.
