I don't know if you read my post, and I don't know what the default state is, but I think you should make the splash screen display by default. I agree with the logic that if you can't quickly display a program window, at least display something to let the user know the program is working. Yes, that's equivalent to putting up spinners, but I believe it would work on some level.
