[Qgis-developer] Splash screen for 2.0

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Stefan,

Good idea. This version - because the italian part is white, would even
leave some space for the QGIS logo ;-)

Who will design the splash screen?

Should I go ahead and ask Swisstopo for permission? I think that even
for the Dufour or Siegfried maps we should ask for permission. Even if
the copyright has expired.
