[sldev] SVC-150

[Hamncheese]

I'm looking for discussion from the list on possible implementation on 
SVC-150 http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-150 (Login picture changes to 
user-specific before password check is done)

The last screenshot is queued up in init_start_screen and the viewer window 
is displayed long before the successful login response comes back.

So based on the above and the comments in jira, I'm treating this as a 
feature request and want give the user explicit control over the display of 
the final snapshot as a splash screen. I'm doing this by storing a persisted 
bool setting in gSavedSettings and then hooking that up to a checkbox in 
Preferences. Default is true/checked. If the user unchecks the box, then no 
snapshot is shown when logging in and on the flip side, no final snapshot is 
taken when logging off.

However after playing around with this, I realized that screen real-estate 
on Preferences was fairly precious for what amounts to fairly obscure 
feature.

I had other thoughts such as adding it to the startup screen or making it a 
debug menu item. I like the debug menu item idea but you can't set it until 
you've actually logged in. Displaying on startup screen would be confusing 
for new users and in the way for most users.

Any thoughts, ideas, ymbc, etc?

Cheers,

Ham
