A screenshot of the overview, revealling the desktop has already been loaded, but the splash screen forcibly occupies all workspaces until it decides to close itself.

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.

***

The splash screen stays on the screen for far too long. Flicking the pointer into the corner of the screen to activate the overview effect reveals the desktop is already completely loaded, including the panel. The splash screen is useless, artificially bloating out the desktop's startup time by about 30 seconds despite the entire desktop actually being loaded already.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log in as normal with all default settings
2. When the splash screen appears, activate the default hot corner to show the overview effect
3. Observe the desktop already has been loaded, but the splash screen stays for too long

OBSERVED RESULT
Splash screen stays for too long

EXPECTED RESULT
Splash screen goes away very quickly, or ideally doesn't show at all since it seems completely unnecessary and no other desktop includes one
