No, I have just changed the default gtk theme so far. The big Nokia logo you see on startup comes
from the file /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/qgn_indi_startup_nokia_logo.png and the
Nokia hands live at /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/qgn_indi_nokia_hands.png ...maybe
replace them using your install.sh script (size 770x470 and you should chmod on them as well in
the script to 666). This may not work however as these filenames also appear in
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/system/systemui/splash/%gconf.xml
(/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/system/systemui/splash/%gconf.xml makes reference to values in this
file)...and maybe these values override the hardwired ones

I think maemo-launcher listens to system dbus to launch a program and as the install.sh script sym
links to the init script /etc/rc2.d/ for maemo-launcher maybe look into hacking this
