I cannot reproduce this.  I get either the file's buffer alone in its
frame, or a 2-window frame with file displayed in the selected window,
and the splash screen in the other one.

Are you sure it's not some of the customizations that run from your
~/.emacs or site-start file?

​I can reproduce the problem when running '​

emacs -q --no-site-file

​file'.

I'm trying this on Fedora Rawhide with emacs built without any patches.

However, there seems to be a bug in gtk3 that makes emacs start

in a very small window, which cannot be split. Might that be the problem?

When I run 'emacs -q --no-site-file

​file -mm file', I *sometimes* get the split

and sometimes see only the splash screen.
