[Qgis-developer] There is a way to eliminate the "Recent Projects" startup screen ?

I have a suggestion for the "open last project" at startup option choice. 
In other programs where this usually happens ( iMovie, and other Apple programs, for example )  they save on exit also the memory status of the program ( i.e.  the "display file" on gis or cad or 3d graphics) in way to have an immediate re-start of last saved project. 
Instead, simply re-open again the old project (like perform an "Open project..." macro without menus, results too slow to be effettively useful, expecially with very big projects. 

Do you think I wrong ?

A presto
