Review request for KDevelop.


Description
-------

This is my suggestion for a new splash screen in kdevelop. Sure, application startup is short anyways, but we've had the current splash screen for ages and it's time for something new. ;)

Click here for what it looks like: http://files.feorar.org/splash.gif
Be careful, it's 3.5MB gif.

It needs a patch to kdevplatform for the progress info, which I'll submit shortly (it works without too, but you'll only see grey squares).

Testing
-------

I verified that even if something goes wrong in QML there's no crashes or strange behavior. You'll just get the splash screen without the colorful squares. Thus I think the risk of breaking something with this is low.


Thanks,

Sven Brauch
