Comment 1 for bug 264696

I think some of the comments from people who think /etc/init.d/gdm should call usplash_down are actually about this bug (eg. bug 159262).

Also, the end result seems to be that something else starts usplash much later in the init sequence, which results in an empty usplash progress bar at the very end. I think this is the cause of reports like bug 216266.

I'm filing this separately because those reports are very confused and may refer to multiple issues. This one seems pretty clear.
