Dear all,

I would like to use FXRuby to program a GUI application, which when  
loaded, shows a png image for some time (similar to if you open,say,  
OpenOffice, you get some picture in the middle of the screen for some  
time which then disappears again and lets you write something).  
How can this be achieved and how can the time be controlled?

Thank you very much,

Axel
