[maemo-developers] Screenshot as loading screen on Maemo 5

[From: Aniello Del Sorbo]

Every app, when starts up, has to prepare its UI and then show it to the user.
Some of them do that in Python.

This whole process cannot sped up, it's there and takes some time.

I'd be glad if there's a way to optimize it.
