Emacs splash screen trouble

[Thomas Christensen]

# echo "foo1" > foo1
# echo "foo2" > foo2
# emacs foo*

The splash window is now in the bottom part of the frame, and the foo1
is in the upper part.  If I select to foo1 window it is cursorless, I
do a C-x 1 (by habbit), and now I either have to wait for the splash
code to time out, or find the "secret" splash buffer and click in it.

Possible solution: Any selection of a window, or buffer editing
expires the splash screen.
