This - admittedly small - problem was present in 1.3 and is also present in current 2.0 3543170.

The startup screen is not shown when launching musescore. Only window shadow is visible. In the last moment, the screen appears.

I was able to fix this by commenting out this line in musescore.cpp:
sc->setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
I assume that either the line is unnecessary for all platforms or it is only necessary for win/mac or it is specific to some ubuntu thing, maybe compiz.

Sorry, my bad. I should have included the line to be commented out.

It is:
sc->setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
which on my system is line 4780, but not on yours.

Severity

On KDE this change doesn't make a difference, on Gnome 3 it does exactly what it does in Unity (i.e. show the loadscreen before showing the program window).
If we keep the loading screen in 2.0, would it actually make sense to load it, then show it, then wait 2 sec., then close it?
