[add-art dev] splash screen // greasemonkey "library"

[Tobias Leingruber]

hey addies,
in the attachment I have the overlay-splash-screen-script (it's a 
greasemonkey compatible file for testing porposes)
the problem is, I still don't know how-to store data in the 
about:config, it's just very complicated.
we need to store the information, that the splash-screen was shown, 
otherwise it'll show up all the time.

something to talk about:
is it an idea to use greasemonkey as a library for our add-on? because 
greasemonkey has seriously good functions, like for ajax requests or in 
this case a super easy function to store user data. I recently talked 
about this with Dan (shiftspace add-on), and I think the "greasemonkey 
library" could save us alot of work in the future.
- to do this, (I hope) we basically just have to check out a simple 
compiled greasemonkey xpi file, and see where the "library" gets called.

so, shall we try to "missuse" greasemonkey as a library, or should we 
"keep it real", as we already made it this far without it?
