Under linux, the splash dialog stays on top of everything, on all desktops. It’s especially bad the first time, when it pops up a little dialog box asking if I want to install various gems, that appears _behind_ and completely hidden by the splash dialog. This happened both on arch-linux/gnome and ubuntu/fluxbox, so it’s not a window manager issue. martin ---
