i think main things are:
* include on workspace only one of the two qml splash screns there are in 
right now (the black one)
* move the other one to kde-artwork subversion module (yeah, subversion :p)
* make the systemsettings dialog able to recognize qml splash screens (there 
is still a bug on apply hit)

* multiscreen support: that's more tricky: at the moment i think the splash 
screen should be shown on the main screen, with just an empty black qwidget on 
the secondary screens. in the future there should be a qml file for the main 
one and another for the secondary screens, i doubt to see it for 4.8 tough, 
let's get the other thing sorted out before ;)
