screen-profiles menu appears always I run screen

I also tend to find the F9 menu a little too much in the way in the current version. First run you go through two splash screens before getting to your screen, and then you have to find your way in the menu to avoid getting bothered at each launch.

Maybe talk about F9 in the screen profile selector ? Or add a "Menu:F9" tip to the toolbar (instead of the username@host part) ? I think minimizing the steps required before getting the bash prompt is important.

You can disable the menu, from the menu by:

Manage default windows -> uncheck "screen -t welcome" -> save -> exit

That said, I *always* disable the Screen Profiles Configuration welcome screen.

I think the best way to solve this is to add a checkbox at the bottom
of the menu, which says:

[ * ] Launch Screen Profiles Configuration by default

To expose/simplify this? What do you think, Ara?

Yes, I think this is the right approach, as most of the people will disable the welcome screen as soon as they start knowing the basic keyboard shortcuts.

This bug was fixed in the package screen-profiles - 1.27-0ubuntu1
