I just started a render from Moray, and the splash screen comes up.  POV 
was in fact running and rendering, but the splash screen was being 
displayed.  It does not disappear until you click 'ok'.  Period.

I can't speak for which programs you use, but of the 10 programs I use 
most often on this machine, let's see which ones have splash screens:
n - Notepad2 1.0.12
n - PuTTY 0.58
y - MS Excel 2000 9.0.6926 SP-3
n - Media Player Classic 6.4.8.4
n - X-Chat 2.4.1
n - ThumbsPlus 4.50-R
n - foobar2000 0.8.3
y - MicroPlanet Gravity 2.60b
n - command prompt
y - Terminus, TerminusPoint Edition 0.04

Excel's can be disabled with the command prompt switch /e, Terminus is a 
game with an intro FMV (which can be interrupted).  So, only one of my 
ten most frequently-used programs has an unavoidable splash screen.
