How 'bout the following:
- try and display the startup buffer while starting up (i.e. display it as
early as possible, before the .emacs and most of the arguments are
processed. Might not be easy to do, I agree).
- if there was a filename given, keep displaying the startup buffer for, say,
2 seconds: not enough for someone to read it, but enough to recognize it
as a splash screen.
- then display a "persistent" message in the echo-area about how to get back
to the startup buffer.
In any case, I feel like a lot of the discussion here has to do with the
fact that until now almost noone ever bothered to turn off the startup
buffer in their .emacs, whereas now it will be indispensible for a regular
user to explicitly turn it off for the obvious mental health reasons.
