… drawing the splash screen

That's an interesting issue. Just curious, instead of the qtimer, what happens if you instead try adding a single line: I'm just curious if that would fix it. I already have it within the show_splash function, but I wonder if moving it outside would change anything. |

I cleaned it up some and was able to verify on a virtual machine running rocky 10 (I tried for hours to get things running on 8, to no avail) |

On Linux (Rocky 8.10), with the gnome3 desktop, the splash screen does not finish drawing before the main window starts loading. So we end up with just the drop shadow (ghost window!) for several seconds before the application appears. I'm proposing a small change that moves the main window load into QTimer, which lets the main event loop finish drawing the splash screen before the main window starts loading. Not sure if there is a better fix but it's my goto method.
