This was my interpretation also.
But by the way:
Qt Code:
  1. #include <QtGui>
  2. int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  3. {
  4. QApplication app(argc, argv);
  5. QPixmap pixmap("f0.png");
  6. QSplashScreen splash(pixmap);
  7. splash.show();
  8. //app.processEvents();
  9. //...
  10. QMainWindow window;
  11. window.show();
  12. //splash.finish(&window);
  13. return app.exec();
  14.  
  15. }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Commented this 2 lines and both splash and main windows open at the same time. Click closes the splash.
Thought this was only possible if using app.processEventes(); !
