Thanks a lot.

It's the KGlobalSettings::splashScreenDesktopGeometry() in kdeglobals.cpp  
what sounds like legacy code(*) since nowadays splashscreens tend to be  
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_SPLASH, are managed and placed by kwin as  
placeOnMainWindow() what in doubt means "center of the main windows  
screen" - no idea whether KDE splashscreens actually perform a geometry  
request, but that sounds pointless to me and is probably left over from  
pre-netwm times?!  *shrug*

Cheers,
Thomas
