KDE 22.04 Login Spinner (lemmy.kde.social)

Part of the KDE login process on Kubuntu 22.04 shows me a gear spinner for a very short while. What does that signify? It still takes a while after it disappears before anything else happens.

That sounds like the splash screen. You can select none in Settings -> System Settings - Colours & Themes -> Splash Screen to get rid of it.

It's an active part of the splash screen. I don't want to get rid of it. Since it only lasts a short time - much less than the whole splash screen, I was wondering if something particular was being done while it is displayed.

I have occasionally disabled splash screens and watched all the startup log entries fly by, but I don't want to see that unless something is seriously broken and I need to figure out what.
