(command-line): Rename `inhibit-startup-message' to `inhibit-startup-screen'. (fancy-about-text): Use shorter label for "Ordering Manuals". (fancy-startup-tail): Add optional arg `concise'. When `concise' is nil, display a line with "To start..." and 3 links to useful tasks. Display the "Dismiss" button and "Don't show this message again" only when concise is non-nil. (fancy-startup-screen): Call `fancy-startup-tail' with optional arg `concise'. If CONCISE is non-nil, display a concise version of the splash screen in another window. Otherwise, switch to the startup buffer in the same window. (startup-echo-area-message): Change displayed binding from C-h C-p (describe-project) to C-h C-a (about-emacs), and change text "about the GNU system and GNU/Linux" to "about GNU Emacs and the GNU system". (display-startup-screen): Fix buffer name from "*About GNU Emacs*" to "*GNU Emacs*". (display-about-screen): Don't check the existence of the buffer "*About GNU Emacs*". (display-splash-screen): Make alias to `display-startup-screen'. (command-line-1): Rename `inhibit-startup-message' to `inhibit-startup-screen'. Inhibit startup screen when Emacs is started with command line options "-f", "-funcall", "-e", "-eval", "-execute", "-insert", "-find-file", "-file", "-visit". Inhibit startup screen when Emacs is started with a file name only on tty (i.e. don't inhibit it when started with a file name like "emacs FILE..." on a window system). (command-line-1): Simplify logic of displaying the startup screen: if file-count > 0, then display the concise version in another window, otherwise display full version in the same window.
