Oops.
The problem with splashscreen.py was that I'd copied the old one to
the subdirectory where the app lived, and was using that. The
splashscreen.py that came with the latest release works fine... if you
use it. (The protection of the data/showTips is still unresolved.)

Hi,
Thanx for the new version. Here's two problems:
1) My app that calls splashscreen with a PNG image no longer displays
the image. It displays a greyed-out area the size of the PNG. (The
demo still displays the John Cleese splashscreen, which is a GIF.)
2) There's a possible problem with the protection of the tips in the
demo, as packaged. (I used the RPM's.) See below:
$ python /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/wxPython/demo/demo.pyo
